- Living With a Writer
-
- All day
- you are bound
- in the lightlost den
- thesaurus laid
- like a breastplate
- across you dozing lightly
- in the crinkled leather chair
- above chapter piles
- on the carpet
- like stepping stones
- the green monitor glow
- halloweening the room –
- I kiss a dreaming cheek.
-
- Late1 you come to bed
- fumbling with leftover words
- aftertaste of bountiful prose
- I’ll read in the morning.
- In the lamp’s yellow spill
- my wordless hips
- read you
- our skins turn over
- and over like the grace of pages
- flopping in a loose breeze
- I swallow
- you in paragraphs
- until we are, again,
- a story.
