She sleeps arms out, legs tangled in sheets and hair spread over the pillow. She moves and kicks and mumbles.
He sleeps stomach down, one hand under the pillow, the other tensed by his face. He is still and quiet and only the rise and fall of his chest confirms life.
Together he provides her an anchor, wrapping his hands around her body and keeping her still. She gives him life, replacing the sheets with his legs and allowing his body to relax.
He rises with the sun and she with the moon but they find sleep – momentary peace – together.
