Relative Something

as if I knew
what comes next
after last night
the last night of life
that every night is
whether or not
attention is paid
bone deep
bitter cold
memories linger
longer
than usual
dredged
as they were
unexpectedly
unabashedly raw
lacking the lust
but wanting
for more
mornings
.after
