Happiness is
lying next to you when the lights have all been put out and there
is only silence in the streets and in the bedroom,
Just wrapped around
in a cocoon of love – blankets and limbs and
pillows and
hearts
beating like
they’ve known each other’s rhythm from the first thump
With your eyes fluttered shut, and your mouth
hanging open in occasions
the night wearing thin;
the day creeps up on the window, begging to be seen
a feather on your neck
a whisper in your ear —
