Soft Resistance by Amanda ConlogueYou tunnel through my wall of sleep
Dig deep into my dreams
There is no solace from you
My mouth, rosy, dewy from kisses
Grows soft, along with my resistance
And I am bound to you again
Giving more than ever was willing,
Rain slants through an open window
My eyes open to a flash of light
A roll of thunder makes me jerk
Sweat-sticky limbs, trapped
In tangled sheets, twist about,
Seeking release from
The oppressively humid storm and
Your dream invasion into my bed
