Yep...thats lonely...
Why don't you lose a few words and make it a haiku?
Hmm. On the one hand, as hypatia said, you could turn it into a haoku, thus:
With furtive passion I kiss the back of my hand And spoon my pillow That, however, would have the result of its ending with the line 'I spoon my pillow'. Which is going to turn this into a comedy, which I presume is not the intent.
"Furtive" alone makes this poem fly. I'm impressed by your ability to capture the moment. *8*
You too, sweet!
