Your Poem

You are lying on the couch
God's perfect toes sprawled in that little fashion

He make them like they should be
I love them
Curling with every breath and snore

You read me something
Moses talking
I swear I heard the passage

But

I concentrated on you

I'm dull from the spider bite
You've made the salve
I sit and wait for the swelling to go away

I watch you sleep
Some commercial comes on the TV
As the humidifier hums

I watch you

As you breathe, your bronchitis

So strong

I bit my lip a little
In worry of your sickness
You smile and pinch me

I'm just a quiet babble

Tony

Rest well
