Feel Comfortable

Janet Kuypers
(01/24/12)

I am so comfortable
with you

you make me feel
as comfortable as

when I roll out of bed
or dry off after a shower

I can feel complete
with you

like when I walk out
on to my driveway

to pick up
the newspaper

or wave hello
to my neighbors

before
returning inside

to be alone
with you again

that’s what
it’s all about,

you know —

but with you
I feel as comfortable

as with hot cocoa
and a bed-time story

 

(this is a poem about a bath robe)
