Stay
The streets are empty,
thick of sleep
Evacuated
like someone called
in a bomb-threat
Seep through my keyhole,
sink between tissue sheets
Pour yourself into me,
like champagne fills
a paper-cup
Behind the plucked branches
of my ribs, cling to me
like cellophane
Hide with me, smother me
before you disappear
again
My attempts to ward off dawn
are futile,
at best
And as daylight drives you
back into shadows
I whisper,
"Stay"
