Sloped Keys

Best behavior-

the camera is tilted to the right

side of the bed

catch the morning sickness

sick to thee knees and I’ll be here all week.

Weak but I’ll be here

striving to reach those heights we set-

setting and striving up the sloped keys

the lock at the secret hills

secret tropes

ropes and ropes

stalling in the middle of winter

summer laughs on our behind

behind a velvet vip.

climbing and a wait

and a wait

with a sock on the door
