Each Day

Mary Timony
Each day I pray
That you won't go away
Like other ones
(That I won't mention)
I won't get up
I won't get out of bed
I'll stay all day
(And all tomorrow)
There are no parties
There is no communion
Between people
(When they are sleeping)
But when we sleep
We dream of the same thing
Do you believe us?
(They don't believe us)
The ending of,
The ending of today
Is today
(And then tomorrow)
Don't wake them up
To fill an empty cup
Just let them sleep
(In sleep they're dreaming)
That all we are
All we are is
The dust of stars
The dust of stars
And a million molecules of things
We will never know
