Fingers on the back of my neck Curl into my hair, And a sigh whispers in my ear. Like a cat drinking I have unraveled my muscles, Condensed them loosely around my bones, And he has condensed Himself loosely around me. The mute and immovable weight Of his eyes laying themselves on mine Flattens my lungs, And ever eager to fix he fastens over me And breathes .

When I Drift Off
Fingers on the back of my neck Curl into my hair, And a sigh whispers in my ear. Like a cat drinking I have unraveled my muscles, Condensed them loosely around my bones, And he has condensed Himself loosely around me. The mute and immovable weight Of his eyes laying themselves on mine Flattens my lungs, And ever eager to fix he fastens over me And breathes .
