Contentment

Sunday is not for rushing.
Minecraft totems,
protectors against the night,
are cast aside;
the blinds are up, and comics are for reading.

I crawl into his bed for cuddles –
finding contentment
in the dankness of morning breath
and a wet kiss left on my cheek.

 

 

You’re doing #nanowrimoprompt, right?
