Glow -- Ron Padgett

(Poem #189)Glow
 When I wake up earlier than you and you
 are turned to face me, face
 on the pillow and hair spread around,
 I take a chance and stare at you,
 amazed in love and afraid
 that you might open your eyes and have
 the daylights scared out of you.
 But maybe with the daylights gone
 you'd see how much my chest and head
 implode for you, their voices trapped
 inside like unborn children fearing
 they will never see the light of day.
 The opening in the wall now dimly glows
 its rainy blue and gray. I tie my shoes
 and go downstairs to put the coffee on.
