the night wraps us
in its cool laziness
in the cosiness of
togetherness we meld
with one another
collecting all the crumbs
that we spent
through the day
to trace our journey
back home
to drain away
the toxicity in our veins
sizzled in the sunburnt day
in our nights of labour
we sweat and shudder
to be ourselves
just you and me
to beget another
day
