Variation on the word sleep

By Margaret Atwood. My favorite love poem 🌹 I would like to watch you sleeping,  which may not happen. I would like to watch you,  sleeping. I would like to sleep  with you, to enter  your sleep as its smooth dark wave  slides over my head and walk with you through that lucent  wavering forest of bluegreen leaves  with its watery sun & three moons  towards the cave where you must descend,  towards your worst fear I would like to give you the silver  branch, the small white flower, the one  word that will protect you  from the grief at the center  of your dream, from the grief  at the center. I would like to follow  you up the long stairway  again & become the boat that would row you back carefully, a flame in two cupped hands  to where your body lies  beside me, and you enter  it as easily as breathing in I would like to be the air that inhabits you for a moment only. I would like to be that unnoticed & that necessary.

i am big arms and awkward but gentle hands that are trying to hold you drawing soft, swirly patterns on your shoulder we can (both) pretend i'm better at this (than i am) cupping your knuckles in my palm i tried to hold your fingers, but mine started trembling so i had to let you go a primitive murmur scratches in me, and warmth spills over my lips pours from my throat hits the air and frosts over into silk i spin it with my tongue slide it over my teeth keep it moving, light and soft bring it higher if you don't smile my mom used to do this for me her hands were steadier i won't touch your hair, or ask to my fingers will stay slow and thoughtful i haven't shifted positions in a few minutes maybe if i can relax, you can feel safe muscles declenching like they're shifting through a wash cycle are you falling asleep? you could, if you wanted to i wouldn't mind or has this gone on for too long? do you want to stay? i wish i could be more for you

some recs

1. company lot by noel miller (kinda like doomscrolling through the tech world but in a funny way. would not play around your parents or coworkers lol) 2. tiny meat gang (used to be with two cohosts, but one is a creep so he's off and it's noel miller hosting interviews, news guy bits, etc. pretty versatile ever since cody ko left. the older episodes with cody are funny too, but i personally don't want to watch them anymore. also would not play around your parents or coworkers) 3. beersos (two hs best friends talk about unhinged shit every episode. also also would not play around anyone tbh) 4. welcome to nightvale (it's a radio show for a fictional town called nightvale. has some fire lines. is overall kooky and odd. often eerie) anyway, here's a screengrab from the first few seconds of the first episode of company lot
