i caught a bit of the sun
walking somewhere and around.
feeling young a long time now.
never answered the big one

when to eat my favorite bite?
at the end, so it lingers
on my tongue and my fingers?
early, with my appetite

i sang you to sleep last night
in the heat of my mid day,
sunk my teeth into your rest.
you snored in my ears. i prayed
for my battery and light
warmed the yawn filling my chest
