The World According to Poetry #7
Cocoon
By Stephanie Wood Miller © 2019
Safe, suspended here
In my cozy cocoon
Against your other world
What I know and knew
In my bed, my house, my only
Don’t hear
Don’t see
Won’t be you
Or drink your unthinkable dread
From this blind house
Won’t give in
Until you cut the silken cord that binds me
