Rod McKuen excerpt(from memory so possibly not exact)

Feb 13, 2003 23:03


But there are times
when you can smile in such a way
that I'd forget a ten year war
and lie down in your shadow's shadow
and live on the sounds your stomach makes.
In these brief times
I could die against your side
and never make a warning sound,
content to suffocate
within the circle of your back.
