i called you on a thursday
it was later than you expected
and later than i’d planned
but on arriving to work on wednesday my boss said
‘welcome to hump day’
and suddenly calling you that day seemed
wrong
so i called you on a thursday
to tell you
to tell you it’s been too long
far too long
since i had tasted your lips
since i had inhaled your scent
since i had run my hands across your body
since i had felt your lips
your
teeth
your
tongue
upon
mine
i called you on a thursday
because calling you on hump day
just seemed
inappropriate
somehow
