it doesn't matter

shadows fade into night stillness
no boundaries mar the thin red edge
all is calm in the realm of dreams
nightmares in the bedside drawer

closed eyes move in REM
dawn breaks hot, another day
monsoons off, a month away
awake I stretch and then I yawn
as I smell the aroma
daybreak offers

many things I need to do
one more cup will get me through
no longer, my first thoughts of you
how you are; will we talk?
that no longer matters
