"In the Blue Room" by Theadora Siranian

One morning:
matching bodies with
the fierceness of children,
disavowing the sun again,
and again, and again.
5 A.M. and we hold the still-
beating moment hostage.
We clutch it to us,
pinion it between our bodies,
and finally it quiets, slows,
stops all together, fixed indelible,
an insect on summer asphalt.
