Morning After

Residue of last night and you
Linger heavy, hugging to my
Skin like condensation
On a boiling pot
Now cooled

I think I'll forgo
My morning shower
And return to work
Clothed in these sheets

Not a lot to say about this. Again, it's a universal theme on a personal level which you bring off really well. Nice line-break on the first line, good description in the first stanza and then the action in the final stanza shows what doesn't need to be told.

To make it more concise perhaps the first lines could read:

'Last night's residue and you
linger heavy, hugging my...' etc

- good title change, may I suggest just 'Morning' - keeping it even simpler, in line with the poem.

Nice one again, Jay
