Zebra awakes

And the day begins

Kisses my cheek

Quietly rises from our bed

Looks back to see if I’m still asleep

Out of one eye I peek

Go back to sleep

Dream our dreams

It’s too early for you

Don’t follow me

Rest for now

Soon you’ll rise

For now just close your eyes

In one look you say all this

As my eyes close my cheek tingles from your kiss
