Escape.

Sweet sanctuary
From garlic pillow talk
and the crawl of
Hair knuckled caterpillars
On shoulder flesh
~
Alone in my space
Cinnamon sheets
Body cool
Chatter of nightjars
Subsiding
~
Breath of roses
Through lattice windows
The ticking hands
Lean on midnight
Closing eyes
~
Spindle of dreams
Reels unwinding
Follow Alice
Down the stairway
Candle light will show the way
~
Here, my Tristan
Neath the Venus tree
Your Isolde waits
With downcast eyes
and re-stitched virginity
