ON READING PRESENT OVER PERFECT

and so I close the book
set it on the stand
say that's where I'll
pick it up
in the morning
maybe two chapters
till the end
but now with lids
heavy
I step out of my
clothes and
stave the worry off
with three deep breaths
and sink to the bed
words still swimming
in my mind
a good day behind me
but still unsure
how many I have left.
