sleepover

My living room couch is
cocoon to a silent creature
Housed previously in engulfing hammocks
(outdoors, blue to match his view)
Small curves in his mouth-corners
What is happening behind his eyelids...?

He's against
one edge
of the fold-out bed, as if
making room
for another body...

The Goddess of Avalon --
maybe that's whose footprints he's
traipsing through
wanting to thread
her thick dark hair through
his own

Upturning his mouth-corners to her
Above her and then above her
and
above her.
