and this morning, like most, found you sprawled out taking 3/4s of the bed again. don’t get the wrong idea, I am not complaining. I’ll take a sliver at your side over mountains of blankets, pillows, alarm clocks and emptiness. you can tell my jealous mattress I prefer to sleep on your floor because 7 AM sunlight will never look as good as it does stretching over your bare ******* shoulders, belly. I lie with a thin sheet between my knees tucked between your legs and a curtained window. I think about kissing you but I’ll wait until the jade buried under your eyelids come to meet the morning on it’s own terms. until then…
