it's early

and i hear you up
in the morning,
before me. you
have already walked
the dog, put the
coffee on and
done a dozen other
things. your
energy is boundless.
i have no clue
how you go from
one end of the
day until the
other without
stopping. i only
want you to stop,
to come back to
bed, to listen
to the slow soft
beat of my heart
and rest. the day
will take care
of itself, as
will tomorrow.
