1:19am again
spine curls into a question mark
hands sing sonatas of symbols
while head keeps track of seconds passed
and days lost
toes tuck absent-mindedly into socks
shy and scared of being sought
for hiding in such a place
their secret hideaway in sleep
hearts still thumping
says goodnight to bloodstreams
with quiet pulsing kisses
bathes the rest of body
in thin coats of keep steady
ready to deliver dreams
fated to their impermanence
