Blame the afternoon for this
sleep is on his mind
eyes have weights upon them
seduced the rest
reclined.
Aged finds retirement in bed without a phone
no appointments new underwear
fits right
no where to go.
Maybe a cashmere blanket
not really needed but
you never know after a doze
a tiny shiver
hon?
Just a solid hour of rest
his body calls a truce.
Just a giant nap on springs ruined long ago
bedspread losing threads as well where scent
of one was known.
As the Bible says it was and shall be ever more
a nap is just a way to miss and slowly
travel home.
Slowly then awakening ten minutes just to walk
make it to the kitchen shelf
and the coffee pot
sit down in his favorite chair
as the light grows dim
dial his favorite movie
new plan for sleep therein
walking slowly in the dark
he sees
Elizabeth!
Come in!
