in the Aftermath

of a deadline

the ex-fashion editor
requesting
a bespoke piece

and you
spending the night

after a terrible fight
(my fault)

the dishes are waiting
nothing is in its place
clothes on the floor
blanket
pillow
feathers
studs and pearls
on the floor

my ball of yarn
from India
nothin' to do with you
makes me think
of a tiny you

(you said
as a kid
all round things
made you 
want to kick it around,
soccer nation)

my hair
is the musky scent
of your chest

my pillows
like
we've been
rolling around on them
throughout the night

the sheets
a mess
you, me, me, you
pins and needles

my tiny house
is my studio
my desk

the bed
an extension of
my desk

woke up
coughing
(suffocating?)
under your arm
pressed tight against 
your body

coughing up
fur fabric
