its so much easier to climb
into bed and pull the blanket up
past the legs that held you up all day
and over your head that's so stubborn
where all your dark shadows live
crawl back into a hole
where you can wrap yourself
in the blanket that weighs to much
to move even the slightest to get out
and walk three steps to the fridge
so the blanket gets bigger
and your body gets smaller
till there is nothing
but a blanket
for someone else

i've been under the blanket for so long that my body holds only the weight of the blanket i thought to be so safe
there are mistakes but nothing is ever perfect :)
