haiku at 3 am

your leg on my leg
forehead to forehead we are
like a bomb shelter

counting syllables
with my fingers on your back
half asleep poems

wrapping around each
other, safe from satellites
shot out of the sky

nuzzle in and close
the hatch, nail the doors up, wait
for the war to pass

your hand on my thigh
your cheek on my cheek we are
like a bomb shelter
