In the anticlimax,

We pull white sheets over our heads

And almost rise as ghosts

Rise like smoke

Then I blow the air back into your lungs

Each morning,

The Sun comes

Then it doesn’t

Each day,

Our bodies numb

But they mustn’t

Each night,

The sky falls

And heaven falls in love with Earth

In the end,

We’ve learned how little peace and quiet is really worth


Hold my gloved hand

Hold our breath

Hold off idle doom

Will God think it ironic if we die in our living room?
