I Can Sleep

I can sleep now.

A soft place in the sun has replaced dark captivity. I dream. I tremble, a memory of something around my neck and an ache in my stomach. I cry out.

A soft voice and gentle touch stills my terror. She holds my head and kisses me.

I remember that I can sleep now. I am safe.
