Rembrandt

I touch your hair,
but you're not there,
my Saskia.

I roll in crisp linen sheets and stare into space,
king Nebuchadnezzar's face looks out to the sea.

I see your eyes
look into mine,
my Saskia.

I hear your soft singing rise and fall through the air,
and delicate curls of hair calm waves in the sea.
