One (opening the blinds for you):
I want to write love poetry about the way you sleep
shrouded in white sheets, light streaming from the window,
hint of snore,
touch of twitch,
but, instead
I stand here and watch your breath,
knowing only that I love you more than I did when we met,
more than I did when we first kissed,
more,
more than I ever thought I could.
- Jonathan Talberg, from Polaroids from the Pandemic
