Lullabye

 Lullabye

are we still in a lull

how long does it last

you seem depressed

why do you ask

i’d give you a call

if you’d respond

you might not be up

preferring down

my friend Carl used to savor one

paired with a wine

writing dead stars

without replies

i use the time

to be unproductive

putting existential goals in order

working seductions
