if I could have
delivered you from your
biggest worry and
make the day all come forward
to the part where you finally relax
and make an assurance that
we are going exactly nowhere and
you recognize where you want to be
after a few glorious sunbeams
and a hundred or so
breezes that come up the forest hill but
soon you picture yourself under blanket
reliving your flavor of
last night’s cocoon
plenty of the gain of no stress
in a tiny set of wings
that often flutter open
but for now the rock
of not much body momentum
Is what needs to be
and another quiet voice begins singing
the slow slinky tone of
each and every of tomorrow’s yesterdays
beneath a quest for silent naps that
register on every scale
and grow so many levels
in each minute of valued deep
tasty lovely sighing slumber
