i'm gonna sleep cause you live
after "Take a Slice" by Glass Animals
in my daydreams, there is only
ardor and never strife, there is
only the safety of how my jaw
fits just so in the crook of your
left hand, there is the treasure,
baby, the prize as we doze, limbs
nestled in limbs, bedroom walls
cast in pink like pensacola sunset.
