I allow myself to feel something true

A connection igniting, distant experience

but somehow you’re in my bed

I’m right next to you—

I want to sample your sweets

Pick you up like I’m out for groceries

Nourishing, vine ripe and ready

Abundance of affection, the scent off your shirt

still holds my attention

‘till the next day we wake—

Minds hungry, the way it’s supposed to be

but for now, rest your sweet head 

and fall asleep next to me
