I want to wake up with you
next to me
on a cold, Seattle Sunday.
I’ll wake up first, of course:
you’ve always been
the one to sleep in.
And we’ll walk the farmer’s market
with our rain jackets pulled over
our fleece beanies.
My hand in yours,
like a metaphor of something
larger than the two of us,
holding the two of us.
If you and I ever
become we.
