Woo

the dark struggled
to bury the sun and trade it
for money

light said
hey
and made pancakes

the in between just snapped their fingers
and said
woo
on the sideline

the cold scratched its last fingers
across your back
and bit its lip
to keep from laughing

at the flowers

always so eager
dancing and stopping and so enjoying
the folly
they dont need to try to make up their minds

the inbetween snapped
and said woo
on the front porch

the dark ripped out all his old pages
and didnt recycle them

while the light just swayed
like a curtain

the cold brought you in
folded under my sheets
as i warmed your chest with my kisses

always so eager

the inbetween nibbled
on his fingernails
and absentmindedly smelled the grass

until the day the dark said
woo
