Spreading your legs  with mine in-between,  limbs parallel as railway tracks  searching same destination    Hyphenate love to  other dangerous things  synthesize our skins within   evening’length duvet    To sleep alone is not akin   to being lonely in bed,  when it storms indoors  silent is the seduction between pillows    Open your sheets  create me as pending sleep  and take […]
