beneath beneath

remember the light 
through the shades
at two o clock in the
morning on the couch
as my mind devolves
to pure preposition
the moon shines 
somewhere else
and only the porch
light scratches the
darkness that I
squander under
people beside 
the first audible
breeze in weeks
that was a hard
now a shard of 
ostentatious disregard
for an overfed under
water cat
