Asleep At Last by S.J. Tyler Roll over On my side Face to face with heat Glowing from pores Radiating Smells like myself Only inches away Thumping and pumping A beat from within Slow and steady Echoing in mattress springs Fluttering two by two Wispy slashes Rise, fall Rise, fall Dormant life, trapped in a cage of human matter Covered with fibers and feathers Radiating that heat This tiresome tango Wrestled across our few inches Still beauty Known without sight Known by how far the mattress is sagging Exhalation lagging Steady Steady Back and forth Me then you Again Again Again Again Drifted past fluffy, soft Beyond color, light Smells like myself Heat beating All through the night 12/15/2002 Posted on 08/19/2003 Copyright © 2025 S.J.
