It's time
for tired eyes
to shut
and for yawning mouths
to close.
The Autumn moon sits
unblinking
over the cold leafless night.
Have you the big quilt?
Let it shield us
from morning.
Alive is what we are,
so let's celebrate
by sleeping here
and having the night
to ourselves
a little while longer,
my love.
