world enough, and time

in late April the sun
sets around 7:40
so there's plenty of afternoon
with time for siestas
if you could possibly manage it nothing would delight me more
my dearest Dmitri
I'll put flowers around the room
dab on intoxicating perfume
and afterward keep very quiet
while you sleep
