Woman

[dsng]

Lately I've been rediscovering the pleasures of poetry, including this one I haven't read since my teens:

"Let me sleep beside you, each night, like a spoon;
When, starting from my sleep, I groan to you,
May your "I love you" send me back to sleep.
At morning bring me, grayer for its mirroring,
The heavens' sun perfected in your eyes."
