tell him "sorry"
then wake up your tired bed one last time
y' both are a concert by someone overdue for retirement
playing yawning gigs to pay overdue bills
tell him "sorry"
then wake up the bed one last time
the sheets, the pillows, the springs
remind him of what once was, what could have been
then pack the bed on your back
dig out your tacklebox and a food sack
go fishin for new dreams
don't you dare look back
just tell him "sorry" one last time
then leave him feeling all the connotations and denotations in the word
