D.I.Y. Relationship

Dreamy eyelids disinclined
to acknowledge whispering clothes,
belt buckle snap,
creaking hinge,
engine roar;
silent echoes
ech-o ech-o
vivify;
languid stretch,
sighing breath,
feet stumbling across the room;
bleary road map eyes focus.

Crisp money;
scribbled note;
“Buy yourself something nice -
happy anniversary,”

seeping sorrow.
