A prayer

You look the same as you did
yesterday when I woke before you

and had to still my thoughts
before I could see the rise and fall
of your twice covered chest

and had to hold my breath
before I could make out yours
coming ... and going

and as long as I leave you
undisturbed I can still imagine

you are snug beside me, shrouded
beneath your drawn up sheet
