REBECCA VALLEY
I sleep and hydrangeas bloom
You will forget me
Because we are so far away from each other
I mean inside each minute
There is infinite room to disappoint
The way I touch your arm when
I don’t know how else to reach you
Dust settles on the table
You fall asleep in front of the TV
Somewhere in the fabric of time
I am shouting
Someone, anyone
Touch me
