Awake II

I have to wait.

 

I have to wait until

you're sound asleep.

 

To open the blackbox of my secrets

so slick

the night dripping its wax

from a wick unlit

onto me.

Compose to the rythm

so still

of your dream.

Close my eyes

and

open my ears.

The heat is

rising

so slick

my mouth covered

in endless sheets.

I have to wait.

I have to wait until

we're all sound asleep.
