I feel warm-close, safe-soft; nestled.
Voice waves rumble, gently soothe.
Eyes shut, tight-closed, hands curled inward.
Slowly open, stretch my leg
–
I thump, bumping on the warm-close,
Hear the rumble thrum I love.
Thinly cracking like a river
Mouth turns upward at the ends.
–
I feel movement, worried sloshing.
Other rumbles than I know
now are mumbling, very close now.
I feel warm-close…

Wow. That’s painful, but very good.
