Night Pulls Up


The clerk who read our palms broke the seal
on another deck of cards. She said you're my fate

My sweet annihilating angel, every naked hotel room
i've ever checked out of. There's nothing

left of that, but even now when night pulls up
like a limousine, sea-blue, and i'm climbing the stairs

keys in hand, i'll reach the landing and
you're there - the one lesson i never get right

Downstairs
