In The Night

The exact right verse
sweeping across our throats
I’m drawn to you
of course.
I’m beyond divided
the fresh new start
loving you
through the night
using that set
of forbidden words
that have drawn us here
buried in t your bed.
In the night
against the quiet
that spreads across
your lower back,
and it wasn’t until
you got up
half-dressed
to turn the light off
it was the prettiest
I’ve ever seen you.
