cozy cove

I follow the shadows
they turn across the wall
as the cars pass
into the night
outside
my room

in my bed
I snuggle down
under
soft sheets

my nose presses
into the pillow
and when I inhale
there you are
my genie
my muse

I want to run out
into the street
stop the cars
from passing
stop them
and tell them
everything

the wind picks up
tossing tree tops
swaying to the
drumming thunder

now lightning
breaks the dark
no cars pass
rain begins

I breathe again
your scent
your mystic apparition
is an envelope

I nestle cozy
in the cove
between
your chest
and arm
I am home
no storm
no harm
