Talking in your sleep

 TURN

for k.a.j.

Three in the morning

you sigh, then giggle

somewhere in your dream world

you’re content

letting the dark loneliness know,

dreaming somewhere by the sea

by mountains, by the sun,

I turn

to your smile

you say something

still asleep,

I turn

back to looking up

awake,

your head moves

towards the nook

between arm and chest

nook of warmth,

I turn 

to the present

to the solitude

with me, 

the pressure remains

on my body

for future nights.
