To My Bed
you sink my limbs
into clay
take me under
my pulse
unravels like smoke
as the naked
black bowl
rolls to dawn
a game for you
isn't it
how long can you keep me
one more
minute, you pray
and I repeat
a scoop of skin
smooth as whale wings
dollop of sleep
sheets crease
ponds wink
with fallen leaves
how long
can we
and when
I am away
you glaze over
like rain on a snow hill
a pool of honey
left out
a day too long
