Sleep

I love the topography of bed
That way the blankets and sheets
Buckle into hills and dales
Small valleys smoothing out into
Weight of warmth and calm

Slipping back under the spread
My body finds pools of its own
Heat left behind, collected,
Saved like rain water
Or sunshine from spring
To ease the moments of the
Sleeping mind.
