Oh couch,

 

        Batik me back

 

To Cleopatra times.

 

Seductive comfort,

   

                  River recline.

 

Rock me, lose me

 

In your tufts.

 

                  Cool, cradling oasis,

 

You protect me from the outside sandstorm.

 

A bed, a nook,

a healing habitat.

 

Pillow/walls,

Furniture/friend.
