I wokeAnd creptLike a catOn silent feetAbout my own house-To lookAt you While you were sleeping,Your hairSprayed on the pillow,Your eyesClosed,Your bodySafe and solitary,And my doorsShut for your safetyAnd your comfort.I did thisThinking I was intrudingYet wanting to seeThe most beautiful thingThat has ever been in my house.
