Frying Pan Dreamers

We lie like two fat sausages
glistening in our wrap of blankets.

I hold you in a frame of light
against the shadows, and you hold me -

safe from all sweet terrors
of the lord of dreams.

A twist of salt flavours us,
sizzles white the sheets,
like a bed of purification.

And when the pan is too hot,
who will jump first into the fire?
