Lingering Laughter At Daybreak

the amber translucence of daybreak
weaves through the window curtain
like lustrous satin

                  that drapes and falls on the ruffled folds
                  on the bed, as I let your whisper
                  sink so slowly in..

blankly I stare at the blank ceiling
as the darkest, dying shadows 
of this November night

                   cowardly creep and cringe away
                   into the gloomiest nooks, fleeing
                   from the touch of light,

while the lilt of your muffled laughter
lingers on even as you left,
..and long, long after.
