FIGHTING TALK

I hit him hard in his sleep

And he tried to wake

But i hit him hard

And he did nto rise

I had the hosue

To myself

I put my clothes

Into the washing machine

They were very dirty.

I cleaned the sink

The white plates

Had gone a dark green.

I rolled him off the bed

(he fell with a sickening thud-

But that use of adjective

Could have been the hangover

Talking tacitly)

I changed the sheets

And made a cup of tea

I don’t even like tea

I pulled him back

On the bed

And went back

To sleep.


‘UGGGGH’

I work to.

‘I have the worst

Headache’

‘Go back to sleep’

I say,

‘Mornings are a chore’
