Naked
Except for my shirt
Which she put on
Before getting up
To look out the window

She stands there
Watching birds
Fly across
The morning sky

And I don’t care
That she has nothing to say
I haven’t heard before

Not young
Not youthfully slender
This moment for memory

If any  This right now
All that matters

This morning in golden light
This woman indifferent
To my dying

Nicely done....even the shock effect ending.

You capture a moment, the tense and tender moment very well. Enjoyed.
