I.
It no longer feels weird.
To share the bed
With textbooks.
A constant presence.
Not friends, never were.
Neither the opposite.
Just there. Every night.
II.
Six in the evening.
Already!
I am half-done.
With everything.
My back is all done
With me.
III.
I stopped going out.
At night.
We fell out.
My shadow and I.
IV.
It has rained,
Enough already.
It is dead.
The cloud.
Above my head.
The forecast, once again,
Was incorrect.
