The Embrace

The moon is rising.

I endorse the fog

That wishes to roll and

Subdue the illumination

From lamps in the street.

Reflections in the tide of

Mist; the natural embracing

Of sheets wrapping

Around my body

Tightly as on a crisp winter morning,

Dreading the alarm,

To remain comforted.

These mornings are often.

Wanting to sleep.

Only to feel worse for it later...      

                                I know better.
