trigonometry

i sleep alone in my bed
which even now seems too small
for my limbs that intersect
like angles on a chart
an unsolvable math problem

and your angles are the same
your feet hanging off the end
of your bed even smaller than mine
all elbows and kneecaps and
sleep lines across your face

someday soon we'll figure it out
a trigonometry of togetherness
angles into complementary curves
and i know without doubt
we'll fit perfectly somehow
