Pretend to sleep
Graze your blanket
along your chin
permeated rays of sun
through a driving curtain
Hide under that blanket
that kisses your skin
and envelopes you
in a warmth
that is your own
shift and let the
crevices of your shoulder
bruised with ratty hair
be relieved
Venture one more time
out of the rug
bade goodbye
sink into the pillows
it's covers melting
your entirety
Sleep again.
