Cocoon
Stirred by early light
Dream amnesia melts
Me back from half-life
My arm lies coldly
Where it once circled
The warmth of your waist
Where I matched my breath
With the pace of yours
To be part of you
Dragged unwillingly
Into day’s half-death
I wish myself back
To those shared breaths
The spooned cocoon
My arm around your waist
(2014)
