time freezes
the stagnant morning
nothing moves
neither tremor nor vibration
not even the faintest echo
of forgotten dreams
silence grips the air
stillness reigns supreme
as death

yet crisp and clean
does the light belie
glinting and gay
like jewels in the sun
ineffectual as snowflakes
in hell

sweet somnolence my love
peaceful slumber
in your burrito bundle
snuggle close now
dear one
your personal furnace

awaits
