You fell asleep

In my backseat

You slept

So soundly, I thought death had come

I counted all the suns

I was at fifty-one

But you

Made it fifty-two

And my

Headlights will shine

The night surrounds us

So sleep

Maybe

We could be

What I hope

You see

You woke with a grin

Told me fondly of him

I caved

Driving the everglades

And so we sit

With silent lips

We slept

So soundly, I thought death had come

With my

Hands on the wheel

Steering us clear

Of cracks in the road

And we

Can still be

What you thought

We were

So sleep

Sleep with me

This empty road

Holds only trees

Let's drive

Close your eyes

Just let things be

And watch the stars with me
