Close the door
Slowly step
Through the dark
Past the bookcase
To the bed
Retire your socks
Leave your clothes
Behind in a little bundle
By the foot of the bed
Scootch the blanket
& fold it around you
Lying between the edge & me
I can feel your body retire
Your feet & legs sigh
Your arms finding home for the night
I can sense the clouds over your eyes
Pulling you away to dreams
& feel your final shake
Into sleep
