AFTER RUMI

I try to sleep
On an empty feeling

Face down
I stare at the ceiling

A pregnant pause
Stardust and television snow

I can't get enough of your face

The dumb grins
And senseless sentences
Confused thick lips
Steamy silhouettes
Against the shower curtains

All the particulars
Behind a white door

In the battle to see
Who cared less

I lost
