Denmark

Lover slumped on pillows
Lover drifting heat arise
Lover turn off plug socket
Lover with hazy eyes

Lover feeling in the dark
Lover find the bed
Lover need no duvet
Lover find no waking lead

Lover lie on lover
Lover lie ’neath sheets so warm
Temperature keep climbing
Waking lover welcome warm
Momentary waking loss
Of slumber waving blessed
Closing eyes and falling cushioned
Lover takes it west

West, a guilt-struck continence
And structures so secure
Where sheets by sleeping lovers
Comfort doe-eyed girls to lure

Lover, doe-eyed lover, and a temple for a stable
Lover drifting beating heart with arteries not able
To carry lover’s aspirations any further more
Lover’s song wrote lover’s hour
And near will pose the dawn
Two, three hours early morn

And lover’s under covers
To keep the heat from frosts akin
And boozing, let-loose brothers

I fell in water icy
Lover floated ’long downstream
And Jack did hold his mother back
And lover mother screamed

Oh, lover, float on, lover
Lover, float past would
Lover wouldn’t love her
If lover understood
Lover sleeping quietly, knees tucked to elbows nearing
Lover would, if understood, his lover’s heavy breathing
