Tonight
While lying in the bath
And damn near falling asleep
I thought about it for a long time
The feat and fall
And what it would be like
To watch the humdrum
leave your eyes
And find that glimmer
Of sheer instinct

I am dressing it up
of course
All I really want to do
is take the essence of you
And wrap it around myself
Not like a cloud
But a coil
A thread that curls
on a curving course
God I want it
But maybe not badly enough
