Tomorrow I'd like to live alone

I’d like to live alone some days –
picture window 
red mug
snow;
someone’s visiting tomorrow,
tomorrow I will live alone again
wait for the next tomorrow 
(I want it more)
stay a night,
stay an extra one;
go to sleep early to catch something
or go somewhere,
tomorrow stop for breakfast on our way 
(too early to cook)
coffee or hot chocolate?
paper cup 
outdoor breakfast 
three walls of snowflakes
(fourth is the building) 
it’s too early in the morning to not be in love
cold enough to feel calories do me good
(sometimes I forget this is life)
can we walk some more
just until springtime 
just until the snow melts
or just until tomorrow 
tomorrow I'd like to live alone

    Casting myself 
    briefly understood by the spaces carved by body and language-

    Sighs

    I sigh for you when you look away
    As if I wasn’t the one who set a fire to my mouth
    In case you turned to kiss me- 
    As if I wasn’t the one who offered to be your creation
    Or to be your equal
