1Steam rising from the mug by the window2:50
2loosens the sharp edges of today3:09
3The hands of the clock refuse to hurry2:39
4and I remember how to breathe again2:50
5Bare feet after taking off my shoes3:27
6the floor’s cool honesty beneath them2:39
7Words I carried far too long2:46
8quietly take their seats once more2:52
9Streetlights stand in for the stars2:57
10shadows fall asleep in their own way3:55
11Unfinished dreams are set on a shelf3:53
12loaned out to tomorrow morning2:51
13Moonlight through the curtains2:58
14hope as thin as tracing paper2:55
15I fold it carefully so it won’t tear and slip it into my chest pocket.3:02
