Morning

Clouds

Skate

Across

Blue

Ice

Skies

They

Tumble

Like

Toboggans

Down

Slopes

I see

Shapes and

You

In them

There and

There

You

Are

Even

In

Absence

You’re

Still

Here

To

Day

Blue

Deep

Navy

Spattered

With

Dark

Clouds

Passing

Over

Your

Head

Hair

Tousled

Tickles

Face

You

Stir

Moving to

Me

Heat

Warming

Hmmm

You

Echo

Mhmmm

I reply

Sending

You

Back

To

Sleep

Open

Slats

Ghostly

Sheers

Billow

In

Breezes

Sitting

Across

Laughing

At stale

Jokes

I

What it

Is about

You

Which makes

Are

Arms

Entwined

Ivy

Fingers

Wound

Silent

Birdsongs

Twilight

Two

Are

One

Here

Shielded by

Linen

Protecting

Us from

Our world

Lying

Together

Wolves

In a

Den

We

Hold on

Move

Closer

Closer

Still

Lips

Touch

Complete

We

Talked

Again

At

Long last

Weeks

Gone

Brightening

Smiles

Beards

Grown

All

Missed

He

Warms

Me

Pot belly

Stove

Constant

Warmth

In a

Small
