the snooze button

in the morning.

we'd spoon.

we were two silver bodies

aligned

beneath the sheets

of  the cool room.

we'd talk

and listen.

we'd say things like,

we should get up now.

but it's so warm

and cozy beside you.

the alarm

would go off and she'd

hit the button.

she'd say, okay,

we have ten minutes,

let's not waste

as second.
