Aubade

Julian Kanagy

I would like to be the sleep
that finds you before dawn
fallen into me.

I wish you could go
to sleep as others do
with thoughts of only morning
in the fabric of your mind.

I would like to be that
comfortable around you
with all the history
your memory could knit.
I would like to be the sheet
that tucks you away from darkness.
