Venn diagram

I have lost you to sleep again.

sleeping as we do on opposite
sides of a venn diagram I read the time

in shadows on the wall the shards of light

through the slats on your window

ah ha ha ha!

I ease myself from under your languid arm,

fumble on my boots and hear you breathe
through your alarm I disarm it for you,

you rarely heed it anyway

I wouldnt want it to intrude upon your dream,
school bell ring messing up the play
ah ha ha ha!

A note, penned clumsily in this
centurys type-ruined hand

saying gone down the shops for a walk
Ill bring back some sandwiches and
then I kiss your face,

the black and the blue tie it into my laces,
I dont want the wander blocking up the view
ah ha ha ha!

I stumble out into the afternoon.

still salty from drink and the late night pool

Ill be gone an hour at most,

you will be more diagonal

Ive a head on me in the post,

I know, a castle swallowed in the swell.
ah ha ha ha!
