The Call

by Angela Thomas

I get the call.
It's 2:12AM, my friend
is half asleep on my couch,
wrapped up like a burrito,
buried in the cracks of the
black leather.

I'll come over.
I know that this is a
dick thing to do, running
off in the middle of the night,
contact case in hand, so I
don't have to sleep alone.

AM time is always a strange
time. The conversations turn to
sour cream and true love, my
hands turn to churn butter,
or something richer, buried
just underneath my skin, like
how your stomach feels under
silk.
