Bootless Bouts

                                 Picture: Eros and Psyche

Has the Night
talked you into
sleeping
without me?

What about me?
I do not hear
the promises
Silence makes.

The floor feels cold
against my feet;
I need shoes
to end sensation.

The creaking bed
has but
no blood
to offer me.

I do not die.
I live
in vain
without you.

Silence hurts
the most
when it
talks about you.
