i slept

this is another old poem which i wrote about five years ago and recently found in and among a stack of others. i'm working on a manuscript at the moment and so keep coming across old poems, some of which i will include in the manuscript. this one's a personal favourite

i slept
last night i slept
wrapped in blanket of your voice
lulled to sleep
by smell of your music
harmed
by thoughts of you

i dreamt last night
dreamt
in vivid colours of you
sombre colours of me
and in the breath between the two
we kissed

Toni Stuart, Cape Town, 2004
