In Morning: As Birds Sing u
by S. Pelham FloodThe mind aches
poisoned
poisoned by dreams
dreams
that taunt of fingers
fingers
on my abdomen
fingers
curled confidently
confidently
asleep…and loved
loved
The chest heaves
heavy
heavy eyes search
search
for his ghost in the bed
search
for the comfort of his smile
smile
for I was loved
loved
And the heart remembers
heat
heat in the kiss
kiss
the morning mist
kiss
his ghost and cry
cry
the sun rises on you
and you
are loved.
