We
embrace
under
my
big
comforter
as
our
fingers
find
each
other
in
the
darkness
.
The
television
flickers, rim-lighting
your
face
softly
, exquisitely.
Your
eyelashes
catch
the
moonlight –
the
silent
blinking
could
put
me
to
sleep
.
I
could
count
your
eyes
opening
and
closing
like
sheep
over
fences
.
Your
heart
beats
to
a
rhythm
of
kindness
,
keeping
mine
in
tempo.
I
could
write
a
symphony
to
your
beat
(
if
I
had
the
music
in
my
pen
).
“
You
had
me
at
‘
hello
.’”
