CARDIGAN


i will take my cardigan off you and you will be a little bit cold where the cardigan was covering your skin.


you will want the cardigan but want the clothes that you'll wear for the day more.


you will feel a little slighted about not wearing the cardigan.


you will look at me and then the bathroom and wonder if i am going to make some coffee to drink after you are awake.


i won't know what your face is saying and i will sit in the bed and feel like being farther from you than you feel like being from me.


you will be a little bit fidgety and i will lie down and then you will lie down too and in your closet will be the clothes that you are going to wear for the day.


i will make a pot of coffee and you will maybe be asleep a little in bed and thinking about the water running in the sink and then you will talk about the coffee when it is brewing.


i will think you are awake and the image of you in my mind will match very closely how you look in the bed with the covers thrown back talking.
