Sleep

Sleep

Sleep curls in the corners of rooms and slips

Heavy onto the lids of tired eyes.

Its fingers work on the knots of necks and backs

Relaxing, stroking the limbs loose, softening

Walls into pillows, feather-stuffed with slumber.

Sleep swims in the warm air and stills

It into somnolence, each breath drowns you deeper

In velvet dark, sinking in luminous seas

Of dreams, drifting the infinite currents of time,

Cradles you gentle and rocks you back to the womb.
