Daily Sip - 6:59 AM

I've been told
that people in the army
do more by 7:00 am
than I do
in an entire day

but if I wake
at 6:59 am
and turn to you
to trace the outline of your lips
with mine
I will have done enough
and killed no one
in the process.

Wow! This says SO much in so little. I love this.

Nice.

7:01am

But your kiss, my dear,
is a slow death
that clamps itself
to every nerve of my body
passing each cell violently
like a prisoner guard

and when you think that
your traveling lips are leaving
little pebbles of love,
they actually leave nothing but
open wounds
longing to be nursed
by someone else.

Lovely, Janey.

Authors?

Can't find the author, but I found the poem on this site: http://rileydog.posterous.com/

*add "659-am" without the quotes on the end of that to find the poem.

It's a pretty cool site all around.

Google says its by Shane Koyczan
