Wall
Jan 2013
Chennai
I don'’t make sudden moves at nights
You lay next to me,
One of your arms over my back
I don'’t want to wake you up in a start_
She hates it
The wall should not be here, so close to me
I don’'t pull at the sheets if it uncovers me
You do that often,
She will say the same of me
I cover your shape when I wake up
Curled-up like a baby
But the wall should not be here, near my face
I sleep on the far side from the wall
She likes to be inside,
Between the wall and me.
I face away from the wall slowly.
You are here when I sleep.
