In Bed.
Tonight I will kiss your eyes while you sleep,
cover you like bedsheets as you dream.
We will watch time,
just you and I,
you asleep and I -
awake but slowly sleeping
breathing hard catching breath
over and over
til we grow tired and choke.
We will lie forever
here and in words
as I place your fingers over mine.
I will devour you gently,
and you will enjoy it unknowingly.
But then sunlight breaks scratches upon your face
and you will curl into me
like a newborn wailing.
Then in the crook of my neck,
finally you come too close
you smell my fear
in shock,
I retire my cheek against unruly hair,
and this is when we die though still alive.
