Honey Tinged Daydream

Honey tinged daylight

Through fingerprint windows

On one sullen Saturday

Before

Sunday shades

On rapture’s blade

And her charms left in a drawer

Quiet

But a clock tick tock

And breath from the other one

Sighs of plenty

Sates the empty

Hollow hanging there

In the hum of appliance

Complete compliance

We wait and stare.
