This Is The Spot Marked 'X'

I think of love and how it can only exist

In your dreams as I trace their remnants,

Made feasible by the dim light of morning

Which is both drooping and waving, prepared.

 

I think of love and how it can only exist

In the shutter images of your unfocused eyes,

More like weather than windows, clouded

By morning with showers of yawns.

 

I think of love and how it can only exist

As our bed is a forest, the stirring of your

Body I follow like footpaths lit by sun,

Patches of light on us like puddles.

 

I think of love and how it can only exist

As it is etched into your face, those

Pillow case creases that makes me the

Cheekbone cartographer and I think

 

Of love and how it can only exist

In this dream of mine.

This is a revision of my poem Morning Map. This, I think, has worked out better.
