Verse: untitled

(at the last minute, this became a poem for @feckedyfecker, through a crucial but minor addition. Offered in the hope someone somewhere thinks similarly of her. And thanks to @kattcalls, who really should be writing these herself...)

love
sleeps here

locked in
an embrace

a dream
lights up your face

your eyelashes
flutter

like the wings
of a blackbird

your skin
as delicate as silk

and i
watch you

reluctant
to break the silence

too much in awe
of it
to say a word.
