For A Woman With Dark Eyes

 Sometime during the night
You slip out from my bed.

As I turn on my shoulder,
You stand motionless
In the dark.

Your naked flesh
Zebra-striped with shadows
From the blind.

Softly I touch
Your animal flank,
Fearing at any moment
You will go galloping
Over the desert.

Comments Are Welcome
