Awake

A face pressed through the window
closing blinds, cutting light,
to dancing lines along the wall,
and, when swinging shut,
legs slide under covers making comfortable,
static to still,
like how you want to say
I love you
to goodnight.

  1. I really like this one too. Do you mean that when you want to say "I love you to goodnight" you're wanting to sleep but can't? I assume so by the title of the poem.
