When everything else gets in the way
by Shannon McEwenYou breathe in and I breathe out
And the blanket stretches
Across your heart
To mine
Where it rests lightly on top
Of each half
Of one whole
Where words are sweetly silent
Anger has no place
Between the blanket
And the love
Still there
Whispers lullabies
Subliminal messages
In Morse code
To remember the reasons
Currently stuck
Beneath everything else
