Shawn McClure: LULLABY

​Lullaby

you: conjured
with a
lover's prayer
so real i can
feel your
long arm reach
the length of me
stroke the pink tinged
hills and valleys
and smooth away
the miles
you: still the
heaving land
and silence
lips with a finger,
breath laced with
low sounds
that steam
cotton and skin
touch the tender
and livid streams
you: spread me
like cloud shadows,
a tapestry of light
and dark across
untilled fields
and quiet the beat
of want that throbs
inside me
like a second heart,
so i can sleep secret,
sacred
