9.22.14
Missing a step
likewise
feeling empty sheets
with alarm.
A bit of fear creeping behind
from the back of my neck.
Resting my foot down on the earth
back to normality
and slow
detachable breaths.
Searching the space
behind my knees
where I expected to feel
warmth.
With my two feet back
to firm stances
my conscious whirls
under the stress
of an empty bed.
I'm sleeping alone
feeling myself
missing a step.
