& when i wake in the morning i inch closer.
sliding my body against the blankets i make it to your sighing body.
warm & enclosed
in my pale orange blanket.
i unwrap you and you tie me up in the package of your arms.
i place my head on your clavicle & you nod your head down,
kissing my hair like sealing an envelope
& addressing it with a sleepy "good morning"
& we are sent away for a few more moments

of sleep.
