you lay across your chair ,eyes looking through your hair
so peaceful you make me envious
you stir from your sleep, no words you just blink
and i can't help but wonder what you're thinking
i had nights that i couldn't sleep
and i'd just sit up and listen to you breathe
and i've had days that i walk the streets
fire breathing in between my teeth
i've seen lesser men trying to fence you in
burning your skin with their meaningless words
you just recede away from your shirtsleeves
and at night i listen to you grinding your teeth
as i surrender myself to sleep
arms in the air, reaching for your feet
avocado trees and japanese leaves
blow in the breeze, urging me to sleep
