We sleep together
deep through the winter
restlessly in summer
we fall asleep holding hands
sometimes curled like shrimp
sometimes we are a
human pretzel
of limbs
desire
dreams and exhaustion
in between our sleeping
we nurture small triumphs
we persevere
we work through
misunderstanding
and unintentional hurt
but thankfully
we ripple with laughter too
on nights
when I can’t sleep
I watch her sleeping
and smile so big
that I can almost hear it
I study the
effortless elegance
that a thousand gifted sculptors
could never match
the inexpressible contour
and shadow
of the luminous moonlight
on her beautiful face
tonight makes five years
that we haven’t spent
a night apart
and that’s the plan
for the rest of my life.
