Sway

You lay curled around your dreams like A tawny blonde cat with a retainer. Your lover sleeps with his eye shade, His arms around you and a new beard Dawning on his face.   I watch you as you sleep to the tune  Of the traffic and breathe to the mantra  Of the wooden cross suspended  From your window, swaying  In the breeze. I watch the light become morning  And the traffic become New York. And I think that the yellow flowers  On the table beside your bed Are the most beautiful I’ve ever seen.
