lately

i’ve been craving
that moment
when it’s dark outside
but her face is shadow-lit
from the microwave
spinning vegan chicken nuggets
and what was fun
is starting to bend
around that corner
into sleepiness
and a vague ringing
in our ears
and she sits on the counter
with her hands braced
just beside her knees
so she can lean forward
just enough
and i can feel
her smile
through my lips
before we say
good night
