and crept
like a cat
on silent feet
about my own house—
to look
at you
while you were sleeping,
your hair
sprayed on the pillow,
your eyes
closed,
your body
safe and solitary,
and my doors
shut for your safety
and your comfort.
I did this
thinking I was intruding,
yet wanting to see
the most beautiful thing
that has ever been in my house.
