It flashes, silently
a tiny green light
illuminating the room.
Drowsy, nighttime
reach over, patting
bed, grasping.
Contact, drag off
the sheet, hold up
and press the button.
Slide open, punch
in the lock, a small
icon sits at the top.
Rubbing sleepy eyes,
touch of a fingertip
your name waits.
A smile, eyes
adjusting to light,
reading as a laugh
escapes lips,
fingers flying over
keyboard, a reply.
Set it down back
on sheet, letting cord
drop back down.
Eyes close happy.
