Half and Half

Morning light sandpapers the lids open,
waking alone, as expected
surveying the chaos we made
when an act of aggression
became a glowing act of love.
Sex?
You could call it that,
but I will not call it more.
I am trying to smother the incandescence
that made my skin shrink, and swell
and then I see it.
One small white bag,
next to a paper cup on the counter.
I pad over,
supressing a smile.
Peer in---
NO.
YOU DIDN'T.
HOW COULD YOU HAVE KNOWN...
Toasted Plain Bagel,
Half Butter,
Half cream cheese.
And a cup of coffee with double double.
And I break my fast alone,
but wrapped in  a lavish sort
of Bay Rum scented haze
that is simply delicious.
