For Zulfa

Awakened 
by her fragrant breath 
her soft whispers 
floating above my face 
her hands 
holding mine  
I touch her fingers 
one 
by 
one 
passing my lips 
on the soft skin.

The smell of the hot coffee 
fills the room 
I take 
a deep breath 
as the morning sunshine 
brightens the olive green curtains.
