Tired
written by: Ximena Escobar

I want to be tired,
and make you tired,
Rest together and breathe
a little,
How I long to lie
like only a mother can
Rest
my heart under your ear,
be the earth
and heal
seal, without a tantrum
only the privilege
of giving, a little
Love,
a warm crater just your size,
to sleep in
