two bottles empty

two bottles empty
sitting on a faux-wood nightstand
as two breaths draw
deeply

it's not the beer -
a thick Irish stout
like a blanket on our throats

it's the day
that grazes our eyes
with slumber

and what is it
that entangles our limbs
one
under
another?

perhaps the beer
(almost as thick as our limbs together)
but something much
thicker
is what i think
