on horizon’s edge
night trails her fingertip
painting it scarlet
lowering the windowshade
as she kisses earth goodnight

    earth’s goodnight kisses
    whisper gently through the trees
    touch of hair on skin
    covers us in sheets of sleep
    horizon to horizon

      The white sundrenched sheets
      Enveloping us, stretching
      across the cool bed
      Horizon to horizon
      world expands to only you
