I have peeled
Off my shirt
Like the going down
Of the sun

Dropped into a pile
Stitches and cotton,
Ribs making faces underskin

There are voices
In the smallest hours
Who tumble from your lips
Sleepwalkers
Unbuttoned in the streetlight

My arms are not long
Enough for all of them

But I have tried,
My ribs meeting your spine,
A lover in the
Tourniquet position

There are voices
In the smallest hours
Who stumble from your lips
Sleepwalkers
Unbuttoned in the moonlight

And by the morns
Your piled shirts
Peal a
Reverie
