before sleep would hold me

before sleep would hold me
by Tanner Brockwell
before sleep would hold me
close and breathing
feel the beat of beat of heart
below skin deep within
coursing pulse pulls at limbs
mingled mingling might
lo to passing day welcome
arriving night that falls
upon the softest lips
moistened tip of tongue
like a flick of insight in ways
that stop thought stop movement
and bask base below
the lights above can hardly show
enthusiasm and throaty sighs
where once were glances gaze
only lidded eyes
