    He Who Sleeps on My Lap

    By
    Ronal Baytan

    My friend
    who sleeps on my lap
    loves someone else.
    He says he is a man
    and a man needs a woman
    and I disagree.
    We argue until he grows
    tired of talking
    and sleeps on my lap

    On this chilly night.


    And I sigh,
    knowing he loves
    someone else
    but still sleeps
    gently on my lap,
    innocent, not knowing
    that I am here
    slaughtering
    one wicked wish
    that when he wakes up
    I shall be his dream.
