Asleep on my arm
Soft,
Small and precious.
Please
Lean your body against mine
Press your elbow
Into my side.
Sleep--
Calm,
Comfortable,
And cool.
Eyelids,
Smooth and fluttered shut.
Yet make me
Calm,
Comfortable--
A fool.

Asleep on my arm
Soft,
Small and precious.
Please
Lean your body against mine
Press your elbow
Into my side.
Sleep--
Calm,
Comfortable,
And cool.
Eyelids,
Smooth and fluttered shut.
Yet make me
Calm,
Comfortable--
A fool.
