After Reading R. S.

three a m bites my eyes from the clock face
and i wince at the time

she will saunter in
jubilant and reeking
later

she is my home

i will be a runaway
i swear to god
i will run away

but i have to wait
first until shes here
then i will burn this house down

and i will devour the ashes
sharing them with the clock
sharing them with four a m
if it is at all hungry
