Days in a week

if the sun wouldn’t rest
would a day be a day?
would a day have end?
would a day press my neck?

I can’t do without the night sky,
the peace it shoves around.
some nights to rest your shoulders
others to rest your head.

first day in class,
second day in hell.
third day… who made these numbers?
who mapped this cage?
