I fell asleep with her
Through guided imagery.
We started in a boat
A canoe
A kayak
A raft
And then we were sitting together
Laying together
Spooning
Ontop a crisp
Crimson and yellow
Autumn leaf
That had fallen upon the quite waters
Of a clear stream
Below us
There were fish
That swam
Between large rocks
Then small stones
Then pebbles polished smooth by our passing
The water of our stream
Was so clear
That we could not make out the difference
Between that which we were floating upon
And the air that we were breathing in
Resting together
Spooning
Upon our leaf
I felt her body relax
Sink into me
It was like a slow
Undulating wave
That started from a small somewhere
Below the diaphragm of her breathing body
Across her lungs
Throughout her shoulders
And all along her hips
Rolling like a wave
Stretching like a cat
Settling in to sleep
Nuzzling up against
The surface
Of me
Of me
As we drifted together
From stream
Into river
Where the waters ran deeper
More swift
Rushing us beyond our rushing thoughts
Letting us let them go
Our little leaf journey continued
And I held onto her
My arm
My hand
Draped over her
Her abdomen
Her hips
Her body
The length of my legs
Against the back of hers
Her heel curved
Up against the front
Of my ankle
In such a way
That when I flexed my foot up
It was as though
She were standing upon it
The weight of her body
Light like that of a child
As the river gave way to an ocean
And the birds turned into stars
And the draping of my arm
Turned into an embrace of her body
And the autumn leaf we were on
Fell into sleep.
