Pleasant Thought for Morning

Pleasant Thought for Morning

Rachael Boast

Hiding your face in my neck 

 and hiding your hands in my hair 

hiding your lips on my lips 

 to stop the words before I speak 

hiding in the space around 

 the space I have dressed you in 

wings of hardened spirit. 

Angelot, a new day is here, 

hide your sobs and feed me 

 the slow pearls of dew drops.
