The girls are restful tonight
Ace sits drowsing,
Soft jowls relaxed
Perfectly counterbalanced
Caught in dreams
Tess lies flat
But wakeful
Her eyes are open, incurious
Sleep claims her mind
Before her lids can close.
They share the mat
(good friends) and that
Shows that the girls are feeling restful
Tonight.
