My eyelids weighed
all that was in my head.
They battened down
as your fingers tapped
a lullabye on the keyboard.
I didn’t want to leave.
Here was a harbor,
a waveless haven,
where my dreams
would not tidal.
In my dress and stockings
and handbag, I curled.
Head down, eyes closed,
breathing rhythmed.
Pastel psychedelic waves
rolled over frantic
brain activity, soothing.
And I fell.
