More in Fooling Around

Heaven

I'm always thinking about this particular subject.
the couch  engulfs me
in warm moments
until the darkness
walks into the corners of my eyes
and leaves me tapping the panes
trying to get the attention of the good dreams

when they open
periodically, i smile
because there is no where to be
but here
and no other time that matters
but now

i'm so warm
when i hear the window open
and nana's voice call me
home for an apple square
the scent hangs there
and the taste of it is on my tongue
when my wife calls me up to bed.

Delicious poem

The couch at the beginning of this poem is a great send off. I like the way the warmth comes from it and closes your eyes. And I love the imagery of the "darkness walks into the corners of my eyes"--

The part in dark print at the top--I imagine that as an intro, not part of the poem, right?  If so, it looks too important there, and too bold and the poem starts too close under it as I see it.

It's such a good beginning. 

and then the dreaminess that follows right into the wake-up call--

a really good ending too.
