Afternoon sleep

Small bright green

Leaves coruscate

In the breeze

And sunflakes settle

Softly on her face

The still, vibrant death

Of summer’s heat

Enfolds her

She is caressed by nature

The air bestows itself

On her skin

A wisp of hair moves

A limb stirs

Her thoughtful eyelids

Peacefully divide

One world from another

Containing one dream

Inside another.
