Monday


by Johnny Dantonio


I'll fall asleep to "Milwaukee"

because it sounds the way you smell.

I'll wake up with no one next to me, but I'll look;

I'll blink hard before I sit up, shower.


The door shuts slowly to something that's allegedly mine,

a place that will sit and wait until I come home

like a tomb —

just like you.
