wearing a gray cotton t-shirt
just long enough, covers hips
but smooth legs, curving
bare, lazily one resting on the other
as you press yourself up
with right arm to stare
down at lying next to you, me
hair flowing driftingly by cheeks, lips
down ears to neck, framing contented
a half smile
left fingers reaching, stretch
to touch half-awake
gazing back up at
nose, neck, shoulders, breasts
and pull closer, pull up
100% cotton gray
reveal waist, reveal
morning
