Sleeping

Sleeping,
Sleeping,
Sleeping,
Sleeping,
In the place of her body,

In the indent,

So that I may feel close,

Close to her because....

She is away,
Faraway,
and I am not.

Sleeping,
Sleeping,
Sleeping,
With the stuffed animals,
With our boys.

Waiting for her return,

with stuffed animals,
with our boys.
