Pulling the sheet and quilt 
over her shoulders 
and rolling onto her right side,
she would easily be sleeping
within seconds--or if not,
in a kind of dreamy 
cocoon state--sleep,
delicious sleep, 
her grand escape.

If there is a world within the world
it's likely not this blue-green egg
fallen from its nest in the rafters,
cold now--yet without a single
blemish--which we will place
in the china cabinet
next to all the other
could-have-been-perfect worlds.
