sharing a cigarette a Marlboro
after we are done
the sheets all wet
her cuddled into my shoulder
night about to turn into day
that lull
that time of pure satisfaction and sleepy eyed
attractions pulling the dark sky
down raising
a new bright horizon
safe and sound
looking out the French doors at the distance
that glow beginning again to peak above
the treeline
oranges and cream for
breakfast again
my sweet
