Mornings Are For DaydreamsA Poem by Matthew Bass
I woke up with you next to me this morning.
Your hourglass waistline blended in with the horizon outlined in the darkness of my room. When I cooked breakfast; scrambled eggs(your favorate) you sang like you did the last time we cooked dinner together. You were cutting the strawberries while I perfected the chocolate sauce. It was the same melody I heard in the run down french hotel. (The same place I held when you were sick) I finished the rest of the wine, the glasses are still on the table They look nice there. When it gets cold I wear the flanel you bought me, because it doesn´t look like a real jacket. Today, I might walk through La Latina and search for the coat you couldn´t find. Or watch a film at the old slaughterhouse, because it is so typically "us". I´ll take pictures of everything (something you would like) My friends lose their incomprehensible breath when they call you beautiful. I do too, but I´ve had more practice so it´s much harder to notice. - When you are not here, you are here and the "magic" always beats the "realism" I sleep better when I wake up next to you. © 2011 Matthew Bass |
