But I made it home safely. I fell
asleep at every red light and let the rattle
of the engine be my lullaby, but I made it
home safely. But you don’t know that,
and you won’t, even as the moon
lets you know that she too made it
home safely, lets you know
as the sun wakes up tomorrow
and you remember that you can’t
remember
if we said goodbye, and it’s then,
as the blinds fail to keep the sun out,
that you’ll wonder.
