If you love me, let me sleep.

Close the curtains on the summer chorus. Close down the house and turn up the air. Turn down the bed. Slip into comfortable clothes and watch the fan blades rotate lazily against the ceiling. Close your eyes. Take a deep breathe. Keep the air in your lungs. Release. Hold the exhale. Repeat. Continue slow breaths until your heart rate slows. Drift off. Dream of something better.
