i awoke
and for one
dreadful eternity
misplaced in a moment
i thought it never
happened
but as the
morning with its
curling fingers
reached through the blinds
to caress my toes
i knew
i knew
remembering
the warm softness
of the sun in your mouth
its glistening touching
mine
i knew
the silences
between and yet to come
would till deep into my heart
but there in the damp
flowers could hide
