Easy sigh me
Kiss the very blears of my corners
Calm my rustlings
Hush my eyes
Dawn my furrowed nocturnings

Easy sigh me
Whisper near the crest of my shadows
Pause my rumbles
Lull my whys
Wake my moon-tangled slopings

Easy sigh me
Trace me with whatever dreams are lips and
Once away my manys
Curtain back these eyes of hush
then with that
Early dusk my nearlys
