Doctor-Spoon

Dark wings curl behind sighs of cloud Streams of stardust swirling free All is done, all is dealt Demanding sunbeams laid to rest And comfort blinking bashfully Its glowing, flushed, radiant breath Beneath the feathers of raven sky And out of sight of weeping day Hangs as a fog between our feet Caresses ankles, bare and chill And lays me down within your reach To shroud us from pale morning’s light Protect us as we feign our sleep
