Dream of the Night Key
eyes closed in the arc,
key of night’s
chalkboard –
the arc
holds you
its dark milk
magnet
electrifies
between
my eyes and
x rayed sinuses
the durable skull
arms & iron tight
cat-arched back
your dream & my dream
the bar
the curled wards
and fingers like key pins
and I curl to fit in that magnet
in your lock-grasp tit-suck
half asleep
nursing immanent dawn
child glue
lost words and sleep and sun
