CAROLE SENIOR
Asleep You Touched Me
In the reaches of the
escaping night
You reached for
daisy dreaming
long haired
goodbye to mother
me
Pulled me into the
nook of
was it Bill or was it Ben
songsoft lustrous goodnight eyes
your neck
Where on your flesh
I felt the hundred me's
gone before,
gone transient flesh
remain dark shadows
clawing their way
towards me with stealth and sharpness
over the precious white of your skin
And winged doubts flashed loudly
in the wardrobe,
tin cans jangled sweet words,
your masked face embroidered
on the pillow
was a feather, full and fanciful
just afloating
on the breeze.
