sharing a bedIt's a funny thing to lay next to someone, to sleep with them in a bed. / I can start off close and drift away in the summer heat, morning brandishing my dreams until it rattles me awake, gasping for sunlight. I can account for the missing space between our bodies, getting drunk on the warmth of his skin and waking tangled up in his curly hair. I can count the stars and talk to the moon while I trace my name into his palm with a finger, listening to the sound of his even breathing and the steady drum of his heartbeat. The world is quiet when my lover is asleep, my heart takes a deep breath and the soul pauses. I exhale all of the days worries in the middle of the night when he takes my hand and pulls me closer to him. In the spring time, we wake up further apart than we are used to, and my sleepy head turns to face him, and it's like waking up all over again. That moment where we are remembering the bed, the person in it, coming back to life, and he runs his hand down my back and kisses my forehead. "I've missed you," every morning, like a daily prayer for our survival, for another day of bliss.

ANOTHER POEM ABOUT GRIEFMy grief and I are well-acquainted. / Two strangers sharing the same body. / How else to explain grief but as a mirror?

ouch.I'm sitting in a cramped chair, throwing popcorn at the screen. / "I don't know what to say" - he says, and I'm laughing. / "It's okay," I tell him, and I'm about to spill over.
