This time of year

The light stays dull all day
at this time of year,
but at 6am it might as well
be midnight. Eyes adjusting,
finding focus, most of
the time, on you. When
they do, it makes me feel
calm. Covers like snowy
mountains make way
for hair sprawling long
and dark across the plains
of your pillow. Your face in
profile, no smile, just the
serenity of sleep, I wish
I am in your dream. I seem
to be drifting there as I look
on and light might start
to creep through the gap
between the curtains.
