love letter

I fold into you 
nights while you breathe 
and I 
sleepless 
cross the expanse of sheets 
drawn to your toast warmth 
your spine exposed to me 

I fold into you 
days your window voice
like peachy fizz 
on my tongue 
and I cling to your orbit using your eyes 
as a mnemonic of love 

I fold into you 
in memories of journeys past 
our lives so together knit 
like two candles melted wax overflowing 
I slink with a smudge into this 
messy family album 

I fold into you 
to fend the future bog 
of age and weariness 
broadside after broadside 
until oblivion takes us 

I fold into you 
unconsciously
like a sleep walker 
who has learned where the story ends 
and life begins
