w.m.l.l. 8

 sitting at the end of my bed
            pale blue comforter pulled back    
                                                            kicked to the corner of the bed

he is in his boxers  

he picks up the guitar
(it has never felt
fingers this heavy before)

 sunlight has bleached this moment in
         
       
                early morning    the blinds are up



i watch his back, a sailing ship      his big knotched spine

a mast above


                                       his little button
perched 
on the rolled edge of the mattress 
bundled in its little blueberry cloth.
