SIESTA:



With the chores of the day all done & dusted,
Day´s decisions all made & problems all busted,
Paella consumed, sangria imbibed, all truly sated,
Blinds drawn against sun & now my siesta awaited.

On cracked ceiling, old fan humming & softly whirring,
Noon heat whispering & crackling & no life is stirring,
The old cat gently purring, upon my bed, so soft & cool,
Distant echoes of fountains splashing into their pools.

The droning bees knocking, upon warm window panes,
Sweat trickling between breasts, onto pages, leaving stains,
As my sleep-lidded book winks & no longer makes sense,
I slip down deep into siesta, Nirvana sweet & syrupy dense.
