Last Night
October 11, 2012
You – are my sugar lump,
my spark in the dark, prairie flower;
my swamp duck, blue cheese,
zombie killing marauding fiend.
You’re my Monday, Tuesday, Sunday week
at the knees and in the feet.
Last night I dreamt I tried to kill you.
You’re my chickadee,
sweet pea, sweetheart, honey,
baby, darling, poppet,
hug-a-lug.
My sun, my moon, my stars, my rain;
Baby; last night I dreamt I tried to kill you again.
