Under the Covers ~ Tuesday, August 8, 2023

Tell me you love me,
even if it's all just lies;
leave me some roses,
leave them above me,

make sure they are out of sight;
even if my eyes

yellow; book closes
on the floor, after a fall,
until I sleep; fright

leaves me paralyzed
on a mattress, pillow top,
vaguely analyzed;
even as you drop

marbles, elegantly small,
ecstatically bright.
