three turns in the bed

the dog,

with his ancient instinct,

and still

intact wisdom,

turns three times in

the soft bed

before closing his eyes

to the day,

and falls asleep.

with your love

and devotion

you've made him worry

free.

he knows that

tomorrow also

will be a good day.

there's a lifelong longing

that i hold

as well,

that someone,

at some point,

will also do that for me.

perhaps then,

i'll sleep.
