Sky Blanket

The eye in the sky is closed

   from some great sleepy lid;

Too weary with lovesick worry,

   and laced wisps seep into the grey

   tomorrow ----
  
   where blue shall find my eyes,

   for today is dull with moody-gloom


But inside a sun shines,

   despite the great sleep without,

   as she delicately smiles,

   through the terrace window ----

   toying my return with her toes,

" Put down your pen, "  she says,

" It's cold outside, "

" and I want you warm under the blankets.... "
