THIS IS WHERE I WANT TO BE

May 16, 2009


This is where I want to be:

Between your arm and chest,

in this safe place.

In the morning when

I wiggle awake and

at night when

I breathe myself to sleep.

I know and am known

in this everyday

sacred spot

that was made

for me to lie in

and has been lined

with your warmth

and your smell

and your well-considered love.
