once i slept for 8 weeks

A rush of life on the highway,

what a powerful thing

to care whether you stay or go.

I fell asleep in your sweater sleeves,

woke up an hour later

and felt like a drink.

I read your letter, coconut breath.

you were the one who watched

when I quit tucking my hair behind my ears,

who made a red room Home.

I may live in this hat,

beautiful garden mind,

one day at a time.
