DRAFT- > blouse

sleep peasant girl

gentle and deep

your worn blouse

tattered skirt

will shelter you

another cold night

lay soft beside me

spoon near for warmth

as I crave more                

than desire can ask

this wondering heart

permits only dreams    

desiring more

than what lies

so close beneath
skirt and blouse

hold me back

to a kind respect

let me let you sleep
