| George H Northrup's Poetry |
| Poem of the Month written by George H Northrup |
Sleeping Alone
I lie exactly where you did,
on my left side, heart down,
feeling for your imprint
on the mattress—one of the stricken
trying to inhale a lost fragrance.
Do my eyes close like yours,
my last thoughts stumble
in the same dark descent?
