Ready for Morning

He stayed gently by me.
Wrapped me in his lush, dark arms.
Soothed my bones when they grew restless.
Brought me cool water when my head fevered,
When my tongue parched.
He whispered soft, sweet love,
Chased away intruders who would turn me out of bed.
And now I am ready for morning—
Night was a good lover.
He kissed away my sighs.
Played between my lips, between my breasts.
Worked all my instruments of lust.
Entered the orchard of desire
And plucked my fresh love fruit.
His body-less body was
A clean dome of skin-less skin.
And I am ready for morning
Because night was such a good lover,
Loving me all over my dreamless sleepless sleep.
