Anniversary

ANNIVERSARY

Climbing into one side of the narrow bed,
stretching out beside you
-- we lay together in the cool morning
of the hospital room—
Meanwhile, dawn crawling over the parking lot outside,
light remembering itself in the room,
and you turned,
speaking from withdrawals of sleep,
'Fifty years just isn't enough! .'
