TODAY I LOVE

Today I love this silence,
I put myself to sleep,
I envelope myself
in a blanket of nostalgia.
Today I love the clouds
that in my eyes
are unfailing precursors
of rain.
Today I love this imperceptible
lethargy
that sweetly numbs
my feelings.
Today I love the wounding,
intoxicating tranquility
of your shut down eyes.
