Time to rise, my beloved

hey beloved, my darling beloved

wake, rise my beloved

please, I’m sorry for my shaking

I’m trying to wake my body, too

but my beloved

please, rise so we can continue

I know you’re comfortable

I know trapped heat can feel comfortable

like you can imagine nothing

except staying right here, forever

but my beloved, you must rise

I promise I promise I promise

the sun has something lovely

just outside

the place you can’t imagine yourself leaving
