each with reasons of their own


we lie alone, quietly thus
in the same room, all three of us

me on the bed with my face
to the wall, wondering if you’re asleep,
on the floor, and my cat beneath
the bed on my dusty cloth suitcase

all breathing shallow, quietly thus
in the same room, all three of us
all lying still for appearances’ sake
all three probably awake
