Last night you left me and slept by Rumi

T.

Still sick, so I canceled my plans. I don’t feel like seeing people anyhow, because of what happened yesterday. I think I will go lie down and bury my head under a sea of pillows. Dream, maybe. Letting this poem lull me to sleep:

Last night you left me and slept

Rumi

Last night you left me and slept

your own deep sleep. Tonight you turn

and turn. I say,

‘You and I will be together

till the universe dissolves.’

You mumble back things you thought of

when you were drunk.
