Soft Sheets


Her bare back moves with each breath

as she sleeps into the late morning.

A tattoo on her shoulder peers over the covers,

as her glasses sit on the table adjacent to the bed.

I want to take in all of her-

write down every image of her.

I want to keep it all.

While she sleeps, though, I'll admire from the doorway.

I used to have an account under the name "The Frozen Arsonist" when I was a teenager and just wanted to start over, but you can check that out if you want to see earlier content
