I love the way
your leg searches for mine
underneath the covers,
and then your foot
finds mine and
they dance together,
silly little caresses
that are reminders
you are next to me.
Your feet on mine,
your metronomical
snores in the night,
the deep sighing sounds
you make as a snore
dissipates in the air,
your hand resting on
my turned-up hip~
these things are
my lullaby.
