Delicate Sleep

He let the book fall quiet at the side of they're bed.
He had been reading "The Beat Hotel", which was set in Paris.
It was good reading after a two week drinking binge,
although his back ached when reading in bed.
He rolled toward the crimson hair of his lover.
She lay with her back to him in a delicate sleep.
He was glad she had returned,
he knew how good she was for him.
