To awake and lie back down
is another stairway and a choice
to climb or wait for your descent
the risky privilege of another dream
another passage through synapses
turning off the goosenecked little twilight
turning off the Bluetooth and the fan
to lie back down and drift
in perfect post-dawn silence
except as dew gathers on the shingles
whatever gnaws in the attic above us
as close as you will ever be once more.
