after breathing quietly....

dear you,

after washing my face,

after brushing my teeth,

after sitting up and sitting down,

after stretching this and extending that,

after putting on sweats and flannels and socks,

after pulling back my hawaiian-floral doona,

after sinking in to a cold, lonely bed,

after finding the perfect position,

after closing my tired eyes,

after breathing quietly,

after falling asleep,

after all of this,

i dream.

i dream.

i dream.

sincerely,

shae
