staying up late

staying up late to delay getting up tomorrow,
to avoid the Meeting, to sleep in so I won't have to
hear the dog bark, or the birds sing, I will sing my own songs
in the dark and read my own books, I will sew my own clothes
and wash them before stepping into them dripping wet,
who knows how they will conform to my body,
I will see as I leave a trail of droplets from
shower to mirror.
