Ode to a Late Evening Nap

I would have loved 

to stay sleeping 


but the hour was 8 p.m.

so when a tinkle and trill 


summoned me, 

I pushed aside 


the grey warm cosy

that tickled my chin. 


My feet found the floor 

and my nap was ended.


“Naps are a way of traveling painlessly through time into the future.”

~ Thomas Carlyle, philosopher

(1795~ 1881)
