Julia

Waking, slow warm, easing

Through sunbeams and sugar --

The taste of comfort and the smell

Of familiarity in the air

We build and orbit.

The laundry hangs on the line outside,

You wore blue,

I thought it would rain.

You wanted to dance:

Soft sways and tender turns --

Twin flames kindling the other.

Sleep came in the sound of your breath

And the scent of your neck.

I dreamed of lavender and sunflowers.
