Eternal Sleep

The moon is my sun; the night, my day;

And that’s where I belong–

To the midnight hush;

And the shadows of tenebrous magic.

I belong to the galaxies beating in my heart;

And the stars underneath my skin;

To the rust and stardust upon my fingertips.

Here, enfolded in the velveteen quaint quietude,

I lull myself to eternal sleep.
