dancing

 you reach deeper into the night than i,

your mind finding quiet ways

to amuse itself with my sleeping hands

as your gentle eyes

cover me like a soft blanket.

 

yet even as i sleep i dream we are dancing,

slow and close, our bellies barely brushing.

and each day i awaken to a greater understanding

of why the sun rises.
