Your hand in mine

I can smell your breath from here
feel its heat on my ear
hair at angles against the blue wallpaper
eyes open just enough to savor
your smile

your hand in mine

sweaty palms stuck together
cold toes against my leg
rain tapping at the window
a dog barking on the street below

your hand in mine

whisper something
I can't hear
so I tell you 'I love you'
and hold you near
then I roll over
turn my back on you and let your hand slip

your hand

mine

This is really good again - love the contrast between the sweaty palms and cold toes - that sort of observed detail is quite rare in poetry and makes it all the more wonderful - you are on a roll. :-)
