You keep me sober like an amethyst
gripped so tightly in my fist
you swab the wine from my thoughts
blood-purple quartz
the pike of night lays a starry roe
sleep my bedded love like a foundation stone
so soundly you fortify me
against alarm, and you keep me, you keep me calm
crystal bloom I put my hands to you
all I need is someone to talk sweetly to
snow falls, feathery bone
on my arm, and you keep me, you keep me calm
