Layers Deep

by Sam M. Phillips

My darling sleeps in my bed,

I can’t get her out of my head,

Dread to lose her,

Can’t defer

The loss,

The cost

Of gaining

Her in the first place,

I’m straining

As I trace

This story back

To source,

Of course,

I cannot attack

This impenetrable core,

I’m not able anymore,

There is more,

And it is too raw

To touch,

Too much

To recognise

And synthesise,

Are there lies

I’m telling myself?

***

I have a new book out!
