Lament to Early Morning by Kristina Woodhill
Lying on my side
blanketed with warmth,
snowy sheets beneath my curves,
my bumps softened, winter padding
able to absorb
your mountain climbing paws,
soft rumbling attempts to avalanche me,
my eyes shut tight, caves for bears,
your leaps from hip to calf peaks
determined to find
the trail to the early morning
can opener
