I like to think about numbers because then I don't have to think about us

I will think of the number
between 1 and 10
and this number will be you
we both know
it can't be even
- just because you are
so odd
and nothing about you
can be divided by
anything else 
but one
or by me
we both pretend
that we are asleep
at night
and it could go unnoticed
if it wasn't for all the bruises
under our eyes
that grow bigger
and bolder
every morning

I will think of the number
that later on
you will press into my ear
with your breath
(another sunrise)
