Time-Keep Cards

Time-Keep Cards

i tiptoe up on kitten feet

kneel down

gently

falling in to you asleep

so peacefully

so pretty

and

itchy morning whiskers tickle

softly

brushing up against your cheek

and touch against your drowsy

sunup lips

morning tongue-tied

kisses hurt

too

those three hands raced around the clock

awake

and i’ll be gone

a casualty of turning gears

and cold

hard

time

keep

cards
