always interrupt me 
for animals, or ghosts

food related reasons
a sound you hear 

the car making
our exit

a song on the radio 
in need of lifting

a heavy thing
land one on me here

wake me up with tears
if you are cold

slipped like petals 
on the sheets

like grief drawn 
by a fly, or a dove

hiding its hurt
stop me at the edge

point me towards
the beginning

and set me down
