She removed some clothes
So the hug would
Take.
The innocence was more intimate
Than ***.
Finally held, safe from enemies
On all fronts. I served my time
As a human shield,
If only
For seconds, as sharp claws
Let go and warm, caring hands
Didn't.

I'll be summer sandbox for you.
You be child for a while;
Rest as only kids can;
Lulled and safe, drifting away
To the sound of adults talking
Softly
So you'll sleep, despite the fever.
Warm with sofa, blanket,
And *little.
