Rhythm

Tonight is empty,

for tonight I am alone.

No figure fidgets

in half-remembered dreams.

No body heats my side like dragon flame.

Tonight I have space to stretch,

my feet will not hit a knee

or poked out paw.

I hear no whispered jokes

and answer no quiet questions.

I will not get up to get you water.

Tonight I should sleep well,

but I will not.

Tonight I cannot dance away in dreams,

for tonight I miss my partner.
