On your pillow

By Stephanie Sideways

On your pillow
Indent made
Shower running
There I laid
Sleepily
I stretched my limbs
And smiled as now
my act begins
I did feign
Unconsciousness
And breathed so deeply
As you dressed
I waited
as you fumbled blind
To see if you would
Still be kind
And gently plant
A morning kiss
Not try to wake me
From this bliss
(Soft wet touch
like dawns fresh mist)
Then pick your change
In pocket put
Down stairs you went
With gentle foot
And quietly
You turned the key
So careful not
To disturb me
You did this
As you always do
My darling husband


I


Love


You.
