Foggy

awake

sensing

heat

rolling

near

your

smooth

back

we

fit

together

jigsaw

puzzle

pieces

arms

drape

beneath

linen

pulling

you

close

let

the

day

begin

and

night

never

end

The

sin

I

committed

was

seeing

you

as

I

wished

you

to

be

thus

blinded

to

the

beauty

you

were

and

for

that

I

now

suffer

a

penance

of

loss

It was

the

breeze

that

woke

me this

morn

and your

sleep

sounds

you

dreamt

of running

legs kicking

like a

dog

laughing

I

watched

wondering

if

by chance

you were

chasing

me

It is

only

when

it is

lost

do

we

see

its

reason

for

being

Daybreak

birdsong

Debussy

lighting

horizon

we

awaken

to

one

another

sleepy

eyes

fresh

smiles

stretching

for the

other

turning

like

lounging

lions

we

play

you

there

me

there

us

here

In my

garage a

mockingbird

hunted a

moth

I

wonder

if the

moth knew

it was

giving up

his

life for

another

like I’ve

wondered

if you

knew

we

have

also

Right

before

day

night

turns

a blue

color

wheel

midnight

navy

azure

indigo

henna

baby

bronze

tongues

kiss

ridges

as

Saul

yawns
