Saturn

   give me a room full of Saturn
        blue glowing lights
   glow-in-the-dark planets and stars
      stuck all over the ceiling and walls
    a radio station that plays
     "Stairway to Heaven" one minute
       and "Every Morning" the next
    and a clock that is set an hour fast
    and a bed that is never made
     with a window open to let the breeze
    and the tinkling of the wind chimes in
      and your arms around me
    God! Your arms around me TIGHT
        and everything
     (I know this)
       will fall
      into place
