I come to bed
after you
I slip in and get still
the night so quiet and
so dark
I listen to you breathe
and I breathe you in
Some spring day in Madison
back then
you played
"Kathy’s Song" for me
on your guitar
singing softly
in your dorm room
and then we sat in the sun
on the mall
watching a kid blow bubbles
I laid my head on your belly
felt it rise and fall
and I breathed you in
Come home from work
Lola greets me
with such enthusiasm
you stand back
and watch us play
when she’s done with me
I stand and lean into you
kiss you
breathe you in
On some rocky shore
we stood watching the sun set
over nothingness
I stood behind you
held you in my arms
felt your very breath
leaned down and put my mouth on
your neck
just below your ear
and breathed you in
Sleep comes peacefully
from you
to me
time becomes whole
and I breathe out
and you breathe in
and you breathe out
and I breathe you in

Ooo. A sweet one, now! Happy days to that dear dear woman. You’re cute as the Campbell’s Soup kids.

I meant to write, “Happy days to YOU and that dear dear woman.” Sorry, dude. Didn’t mean to exclude you (this time).

Aw shucks, thanks Chris! I’ve been enjoying dramamater lately…
Hope to bump into you around the way sometime. Was just remembering today a bonfire in Afton from last summer that I think you were at… O’ summer…
Awesome words… Thanks.
