Creased, her cheek, the morning. 
In between the dust and shafted sun, she yawns, her jaw askew.
Her long limbs in the cold. 
I cover her. She smells like copper,
like Dial and cheap wine and copper. 
Curves on curves, her lashes, the blue
they rest on, brown when open.
I guess we forgot to be good, last night.
I cover her. I guess we forgot to make peace.
