One New Poem by Susan Tepper

 



ENTER


a dream’s soft padding

changing—

shadows swim the walls

at close of day.

Did you arrive

just wearing socks?

Quick plunge

to clear your head.

I do recall complaints

about cold feet.

Smashed strawberry-

red on vanilla

fluffed the channels of

my bed comforter.

Yummy.

By then

you had us both.

Torturing you.

Squeezing you side by side.
