Pentimento

In the soft light of early morn

after the rain has fallen

there is a time of no time

a reminder of what has come before

of what is gently emergent

of what is always present.

This, my darling, is what we seek,

leafing through catalogues

googling the internet

driving our whisper-quiet cars.

It is here, like a deep

caress,

the communion

we crave in every

kiss.

I am watching you sleep.

Open your eyes,

bliss

is slipping by.
