Feel the matress tense beneath me
like the muscle of nonsleepy;
Feathers flexing will defeat me,
and it vexes me completely.
And the hexes heat covertly
like a slow low-flying turkey
like a Texan drying jerky
but his meaty mitts can`t hurt me
With my steely will compounded
in a mighty mound that`s hounded
by the SNAP my steel string sounded,
just before your snores unwound it.
And in store are dreams so daring
that the night can`t stop from staring.
I`ll swim sweetly as a herring
through the ether, not despairing.
Go to sleep, you stunning sky;
gently creep cunning by:
A quiet hum is amplified
by your thumb, that you suck dry.
Hundred raging waters snare the lonely sigh.
Hold your breath and clasp at Cassiopiea.
