Rules of sleep
In the sludge drawer of animals in arms,
where the legs entwine to keep the body warm,
against the winter night, some cold seeps through -
it is the future: say, a square of stars
in the windowpane, suggesting the abstract
and large, or a sudden shift in position
that lets one body know the other's free to move
an inch away, and then a thousand miles,
and, after that, even intimacy
is only another form of separation.
