At Sunrise



sun slips into the room through slats
in thin lines
to whisper over the dust you can see
but not touch
the light crests his naked body like a halo

if you watch carefully
you can see his eyes move rapidly
under the skin film and lash line
        wrestling with waking or tracking the frames of a dream

silky blond hair cascades the pillow
framing the boyish face, so innocent 
in sleep
you want to touch him

bury your face in the crevice of his chest
inhale the sleepy smell of him
knowing his arms would encircle you
        when he moves

you slide into the cocoon
flesh against flesh
spooning

His breath on the back of your neck
sends messages to the place where
his maleness indents you
        finding its niche

you need to stay
stay
till the moon mist crests his naked body
