Tuck your hair behind your ear
Turn your cheek to me.
Tilt your chin
Up to the East
Close your eyes
And see.

A necklace for
Your collarbone
I sweep my fingers
Round your neck.
Gentle thoughts
And heavy dreams
I must keep my heart
In check.

Breathless now
I clasp it shut
And lift my eyes
To you.
No breath in my lungs
Gives me room in my mind
To imagine the things
We could do.
