first half of november

the days are cold but i am safe;
warmth is falling asleep to your familiar noise

our car rides are silent but here you are;
we stop to watch strangers fish one sunday evening

the same life i held in my arms
in a dream long ago now in
you; i feel it stir beneath my palms and your dress

light is both a window open
and a text blinking, hopeful on our cellphone screens
