Naked

Tonight

We will all sleep

Naked

How delicious

To reach out

Across the dark sky

And touch

The bare knowledge

That we do not sleep naked

Alone

The night air

Tingling at our skin

Transporting

The touch

Of a thousand thoughts

Hidden in this daily life

Warmed into being

Like steam

From a boiling pot

If only

We were brave

Enough

In the light

To our bare ourselves

Perhaps

Even on the coldest of nights

We would sleep naked

Never to be alone, again
