someone who cares
less about rainy days
and old films would be
—the heart of the matter
is this is me asking
if you wanted to
would you know?
would I?
or are we a week of Sundays
slow and easy
and maybe (some day) as sweet
as that feeling you get
when they dim the lights
and you are on the verge
waiting thinking please
leave me tonight
so I might breathe or leave
tomorrow if you can because
some day is one day too late
and before you know it
they will raise the lights again
