Literature Text

It's the faint play of light, rising,
against the door.

A hand, slippery with sweat,
grasping at the straws of a week,

crumpled together,
unnamed.

Wherever it begins, or ends,
I will be here,

heart leaping against my ribs,
sandy eyes and shallow breaths,

a thin, sudden beam of sunlight,
heralding the new day.
Of course I hang on tight, she said. You
can't believe the kind of stuff that
happens when you let go.
