"Good morning"

“Good morning” she said as

the rain splattered

on the paving and

trickled down the window

panes

“How are you?” she asked as

bodies, warm and slow after night

emerged from dreams to

morning-time under the covers of

bed

“Kiss me” he says as

eyebrows rise in a gentle, curved

question mark that frames

eyes, nose and, now smiling,

lips
