I brought you to me in the dark before anyone knew,
and you smiled I could feel it.
How hard did we work to get to this place?
I should know but I don’t.
Actuality is a concept better turned over
to monks and brazen women.
Once when you were asleep,
I moved all over your body in a dream.
I was surprised to find you alive.
The water on your face, warm.
