Sunday, Upon Waking

The scent of coconut oil hangs in the air
Rising from the sheets where our bodies played.
I can still taste the white wine, the lingering amaretto
Can still smell, just barely, your cigarettes.
The rain starts softly outside your open door -
sadly, no major thunderstorms today.
The sun stands high and mute
Behind gray-white sheets of cloud.
The train rattles by many floors below.
I open a book
To break the roaring silence of my mind.
