22.

Within 
the sands of this moment fathered by time
Within
A park bench, peaceful sharp whiffs of pine 
you find an opportunity to nap,
dissolving atop me,
claiming space I took for mine, 
A pool 
Within
the pan that is my lap 
I pet you softly, and you drift to sleep;
cupping your breaths 
Within
my open hand
with drool your sleep runs shallow into deep 
eroding the last of lines 
within 
the sands
that lie in our egos
Within
