Where no tyranny is tolerable

0 posted 2007-09-11 07:45 PM



I want to be held.
I want to be put to bed.
(like Midnitesun did me one night)
I want to rest my stressed-out head
on lush and naked bosom.
I want to be held.
I want to be rolled and rocked to sleep.
I want to hear in murmur
what no one else has had the time
to tell me these last two. weeks.
That I am not inept.
That everything will be okay.
That all will be fine ...
I want to be called "baby,"
even though I'm already grown.
But don't tell ...
Okay, okay ...
Get over it.
Grow up, you ... you ...
(So you'll know why I haven't written ...)
