My Favorite Time

Night

crawling into our bed

my feet cold as ice

giggles under covers

bodies curve like spoons

cats fold behind our knees

breath finding rhythm

tempo of peace

I sleep

——————————————————————-

I wake

alarm jangles

calling you - not me

greedy limbs fill warm space

your scent on the pillow

but the blankets, all mine

sweet good-bye kisses

lull me back to sleep

Day
