The leaves are always left out when mentioning the flower

More hours than
it's as if you were just here
strange like the smell of rain that sweeps the days that
the calendar dropped so fast
(speedy dealer he is)
there's just enough room left
for more of his last breath

every day I knew the sun would rise
but today I felt it lower than ever before
it limped across the gate and down my dreams
like that one where she grabbed you from my hand and talked to you for so long
under her demon blanket of knees
and you calling her hug

I know only a volunteer could be in this position
who else lets the drizzle stab their every calm
who else takes their finger and with it presses the button just to see what it does

then the knock on the door comes
and its the rain
and you calling me again
