tonight


Tonight I shall sleep
with you in my memory,
with your bright eyes burning into mine,
the skin of your hands sweeping over my hair.

I will sleep that deep sleep of a somnambulist,
lying in my soft and comfortable bed,
feeling neither soft nor comfortable,
wanting to wake with you near me.

Tonight I shall sleep
a restless and fleeting sleep,
with the simple hope
of meeting you in my dreams.
