The hard shells of coconuts

Rough in my hands

But heartbreakingly soft inside

The empty husk of days

Piled up and forgotten

The sun and dust dance in the afternoon

Like a yellow drunken haze

The more time passes

The more it stays the same

I never forget the weight of sleep

Or, it can’t forget me

Do I wait for him

Or does my lover wait for me?
