I awoke to prized tastes swimming tributaries across my lips; tiny trickles of sighs stretching skin tight chasing last nights kiss, last nights embracing dreams falling off eye lids stripped of cognition and it’s the ignition of ten thousand eyes watching blankets rise and fall next to my resting naked form. Fingers’ nails attach to linens stitch, searching language whispered in early morning nights passing out and around made up words and tortures to galling laughs and insipid shakes of bodies rocking together, mid-nights haste to be first to drop off the edge without slipping. I want to wake the blanket, Oh! How I want to wake it! Shake it and break it’s dreaming mind to slumbered reality. I listen to the ivy growing through the windows closing me into homes close to wooded enclosures, chirping gnaws in my eye’s veins twitching beats chest deep. I sigh over blankets tossing form and watch with smiles that have forgotten to remember the smiles reason.

Blankets
I awoke to prized tastes swimming tributaries across my lips; tiny trickles of sighs stretching skin tight chasing last nights kiss, last nights embracing dreams falling off eye lids stripped of cognition and it’s the ignition of ten thousand eyes watching blankets rise and fall next to my resting naked form. Fingers’ nails attach to linens stitch, searching language whispered in early morning nights passing out and around made up words and tortures to galling laughs and insipid shakes of bodies rocking together, mid-nights haste to be first to drop off the edge without slipping. I want to wake the blanket, Oh! How I want to wake it! Shake it and break it’s dreaming mind to slumbered reality. I listen to the ivy growing through the windows closing me into homes close to wooded enclosures, chirping gnaws in my eye’s veins twitching beats chest deep. I sigh over blankets tossing form and watch with smiles that have forgotten to remember the smiles reason.
