As You Slip Into Sleep

I want to sink into 
You.
softly as I sink
into sleep, 

I want to slip 
through the spaces of Your ribs.
Inhale me so that I may visit Your most intricate parts

I want to feel the damp walls of Your lungs 
contracting tight with reality.
I've entered these places a thousand times in my dreams,

As my dreams so boldly seeps 
through the spaces between Your ribs.

I want to slip into,
You.
sweetly as You slip,
into sleep.
