When do rabbits go to sleep?

5/26/2015

Too many things can hide
in the cover of darkness.
The warmth of your body
and shallow breaths, sleep,
while my feet walk over
sidewalks lining alternating
bricks and blossoms.
I catch streetlamps in the corners
of my eyes and, to the south,
the city bleeds red, suffocating starlight.
Hollow thrum of distant engines, 
the people are moving still.

While the clock keeps ticking, the cat waits by the door

How about this:
I will go there,
with little bird eyes
expectant and anxious,
to sit and wait
while you figure 
things out for the first time
                   for the ninth time
                   for the millionth time.

Even though
you and I both know
it will be the same thing
                  this time 
like it has been 
                   every time:
me, with my shaking hands
and nervous disposition;
you, with shrugging shoulders
and your mouth held shut.

pitter patter prairie hearts

The sound that carried
across Saskatchewan prairies:
your heart beating
against mine.
Thunder.
