He Sleeps

Dear companion, fair and funny,
I think I'll watch you sleep.

Oh! You lived inside me!
Do you still know the furious beating of my heart,
memorized from your months swimming in the dark?
Perhaps you hear it even now,
behind your eyes as you dream.

The new day turns over like you,
stretching with toes curled.
