I do not know what to tell you,
Except that dolphins sleep
With one eye open
To keep from drowning
And that a whale’s heart only beats
Nine times a minute
But when it’s five in the morning
And the sun has woken up
And the light hits
All my favorite parts of your body
And while my heart beats,
At an innumerable rate
I roll over and lay
In the warm spots
That you leave behind
And whisper to myself,
I sure wouldn’t mind drowning in you.
