benediction

Watch me sleep

lay your eyes
in the hollow
of my back

dream me
into form
and stillness

curl
into my absences
catlike

tether me

my context
and subtext
pressed smooth

panem de caelo praestitisti eis
omne delectamentum in se habentem.[1]

[1] Thou hast given them bread from heaven, having within it all sweetness.
