10.15 AM

after
a
week
in
our cocoon balloon 
our unkillable bubble
of
in-jokes
and
safety
it
becomes monday again
and
she has to work

and it is eternally awfully 10.15 AM

later
the afternoon arrives
late and strung out on carbs

and
then
the 
day
falls
     slowly
           down
toward
reunion
and
rest
