When at Night You Lie Down
- When at Night You Lie Down
The pull of youis the clearest magnetismmy heart has known.The slight revelation of skin against skin,the way the sheet curves down to settle around you,your recumbent figure shapes the dark,the shadows speak happy nonsense in the pale dark night;all is forms and echoes and shades of you,enticements to become a citizen of your halcyon state.You are a denizen of starlight.The very dark is happy to meet you.
