and we are here, inside, spread like Christ. squinting at the red and green smoke alarm lights – our very own fireworks show. bursting wide across the ceiling. now you are wrapped around me, sleeping
let us, i say spend every
moment just like this. we’ll
make morning check-out, sneak
back in and spend the day
poolside; at some
point, i will dance with a towel
wrapped around my head to
make you laugh, like the good guy in
the movies that never gets
the girl.
