Idle

Collapse to the dusty floor of your head
It's musty in there and the air smells
Like something long dead.
Dream of waking on a sunny morning
With the warmth of the window wafting
Across your feather bed.
Kiss your love good morning as you sit up and breathe
And life courses through you in a way
It hasn't really in years.
Breathe, and then your body breaks
From the pressure of the image in your head
Sleep, until your body wakes
Rusty, tired, and underfed.
