Closer now
Her
I
carefully fold
the air mattress
where I slept restless
this morning
revealed hands touch
unexpected
yet hoped
and now alone
together
crouched knees kiss
and air
escapes
we sink towards
the ground
which now
seems inevitable
that momentary cushion
would give
and my expectations
exposed for fools
laid out
on the bare
cold
flat.
