I like to sleep with you.
I like to sleep with you.
The room is still and dark
and warm
The radiator and you breathe steady air beside me.
My hand finds the curve of your side,
and eyes still closed,
you reach back for me
quietly touch where I am most tender, most sore
where, beyond this room and this darkness,
amid the fragility that lies between a single heart beat,
you will never know me.
but somehow
with your hands
with the lightest touch
I am found
And all the while
still
dreaming.
