Big Spoon, Little Spoon







I don't like sleeping
with other people touching me,
he said, stroking my arm

Neither do I, I replied. I
never slept deep enough to dream before,
not next to someone, until I laid down
with you.

It thundered so loud, I woke up in a panic. Like
a bomb went off, he said.

It's all right, I'm here now, I replied,
stroking his hand.

It's not
all right
when you're
not here
with me,
he said.

He turned.
I turned
with him,
here now.
