White, Warm Sheets
in my white warm sheets asleep
underneath my woolly blankets
attacked
o’ what a desperate person she is
and though
she pulls away my pillow
i will not wake just yet
i want to sleep
a little longer
dream, dream, dream

The economy of words really enhances the desperation of the emotion within this poem.
