THE SPACE EXPANDED

The space expanded around
cold eggs with salsa,
you repeated the second law
of thermodynamics.

I tossed my breakfast in the trash,
slammed the door on Sunday football.
The space expanded.

Fourteen hours of sleep
interrupted by your voice,
which I hardly recognize
over the long chord.
I cannot wake up,
the room is so large.

The space expands, distance chills,
anger blurs the memory of salsa,
our hearts become cold eggs.
