Oh woe!

I am wearing your favorite shirt
the one you wore in high school
and the underwear
you gave me
ruminating
eyes at half mast
over cereal bowl
and coffee

I woke up again
in the bed without you love

have the whole day ahead
to fantasize
about taking my wrench
to the gear box

I won't

because I fear
when the dust settles
and the gear box is still there
and you are still far away



no, love, I will wait here

I will keep
making pots of coffee
watching the black turn lighter
shades of gray

as the world wakes.
