Indigo

                        Faded blue denim
                        still cool to the touch
                        smells of winter rain
                        and firewood

                        Strong arms
                        wrapped around me
                        I am engulfed in
                        indigo warmth

                        A long day. He sleeps.
                        Brown hair still damp
                        from the muffled wet world
                        He left behind the door

                        Eyes closed
                        Face soft
                        Hands warm
                        Day completed

                        He never even took his coat off.
