Infusion

I rest next to you

in the silence of darkness

as the wind swiftly makes its way

through the space between us

cradling

every inch of our stories.

I love the smell

of your essence

infused in the sheets

longing to join me

as the autumn breeze

picks it,

twirls it,

and gently exposes it

letting me borrow

pieces of you

for a few moments

at

a

time.
