sleepy eyed
i lied wide awake
listening to the cat purr
and fold herself around my feet
the shades are open
hoping for a breeze
on these long hot nights
of fitful rest and undress
eyes spy gold dust
raining down outside
the back window
from the shooting star
one second sooner
or longer
and i could have wished
too late
or early
depending
causes me to stay
tucked in
