02.

i lay between her legs

late night.

my head's on her soft thigh
her hand is stroking my hair

champloo on the television
but i can barely keep my eyes open.

her fingertips stroke my scalp continuously,
pushing back my hair.

she's reading a book. probably one for
school.

she knows i had a long day, so she's quiet
and let's me sleep.

i close my eyes, she rubs on my ear.

my phone rings. "leave it" she says
as i hold out my hand for it.

"can't." she knows work never stops
for me.

"hyuk" i answer,
"kwon. what are you up to right now?"
"why"
"we should link up"
ariel, this girl i used to talk to, now wanted
to "link up".
probably because she had seen me in GQ magazine.

every girl suddenly wants to "link up" when they see were me in a magazine.
no real friends.

"i'm busy" i tell ariel. she complains, even whines a little bit.
nai leans over and kisses my forehead multiple times.
she kisses my cheek and the corner of my mouth while i'm still on the phone, trying to end the conversation with ariel so i can get back to falling asleep.

"look. i gotta go. can i call you back?
aight. cool"
i hang up the phone and rest my head.
"now sleep" the girl tells me.

she doesn't have to ask twice.
i descend into my sleep, floating lightly as though i'm a leaf floating in the wind onto calm waters.

half moon.
