Hmm
Waking Up
Close your eyes and I will follow you anywhere,
whether the tangle of your hair is strangling my fingers
or circulating around your green knit cap
as you look between me and the water, me and the floor,
where even our shadows can't separate anymore,
held against each other in the inverse evening,
whispering to each other: open your eyes,
and I will follow you anywhere, whether the lines
of your silhouette are stark against the waves
or split into fragments by a thousand stadium lights--
I would go with you, till our shards are scattered together,
until everything is illuminated, and I see your head
is still on my chest, and my hand is in your hair,
and you have not left the dream that's making you smile,
and I close my eyes and pull you closer and follow.
