I’m full
of last lines and
titles and nothing
in the middle, I’m
tired of waiting —
I sleep over covers
so I don’t have
to make the bed, if
I already know
the ending, how
do I get from here
or is it there — nevermind,
I bought new curtains
but haven’t hung them,
fluff my pillows with
hands too often empty,
daydream without
blinking, and I guess
I’m just wondering how
long I’ll feel this feeling:
hollow.
