Daylight Enters

Coming quietly,
                                       into the darken room.
                                  Moving though the shadows,
                                      as does a cat 
                                              in the night.

                                  Sliding bemeath cool sheets,
                                         and touching,
                                     as though each act
                                       had been rehearsed
                                   a thousand times.

                                   When the daylight enters,
                                         and you have gone.
                                   Leaving only rumpled sheets
                                         where you had laid.
