The
Sleeper
April
moon aligns, highlighting the sleeper
who,
on turning will surely wake.
I
gently pull the shade down
missing
immediately the light of my sky charm,
talisman
since my birth.
I
sacrifice the night glow for the love of later life,
keeping
shut the window knowing
the
sounds of the night cherished while alone
have
given way to a pattern of shared breath,
pulsing
through a shared life
over
which an illuminated sentinel
keeps
watch.
