you know
your time is up
when
poems
stop reminding you
of the person
you thought
you could not live
without

*(k.w)

endless sleep
or
divine flowers 

never both

*(k.w)

i want to sleep 
forever
and never wake up again

take a very long nap
that will cure
a l l of my worries 
and
p a u s e the stress
that encapsulates 
my head 
and my body

i want to close my eyes
and sleep forever 

but i do not want to die

*(k.w)

the sun
woke me up
by kissing my face
when i was all 
tangled up 
in white sheets 
and you

*(k.w)

I draw circles 
on his shoulder 
with my fingertips
and he stroked 
my hair
and kissed 
my forehead 
as his beating heart 
started in competition 
mine

*(k.w)
