blankets

Billowing blankets...

Burrowed below
brown bedding,
being hushed between the stacks of blankets. 

Bold colors of brow and blue.
Blankets warm like they're fresh out of the dryer. 

Boggy winter nights full of rain,
the bewildering softness of a blanket fort,
wrapped up in the big brown blankets. 

Safe like a treasure untouched.
