Laid here counting roof tiles... two at a time my eyes heavy but my lids in denial of sleep she whispers in my ear are you awake then adds good with a grin WHY NOT abandon one basic need for another why not rest upon anothers flesh soft and warm scented with the promise of dreams insomnia so cruely denies Pillow pressed beneath her back giving support so sorely needed amid the punctuated night time prayers God called upon in blasphemous tongues praised and cussed in unison of mouths wet and open Sheets that offer no warmth soon cast off replaced by heat of breath and perspiration sweet and salty to the lips kissing nibbling biting nails find no fault inscribing thank yous in reddened ink Falling back exhausted yet wide awake as by my side cuddled in she sleeps smiling and I close my eyes and think myself blessed for every night the first for we two have yet to sleep together.
