You were kicking muddy dimples
into her bleached cheek as she slept,
while I just rested against her and tried tasting ice.

(We must be all warm inside, because those baby clouds
keep curling up and dozing in our lungs.)

Thank you very much. I was trying to go for a kind of 'snapshot' feel to it, just a brief moment frozen (excuse the pun!)

Hopefully it comes across that way. :)
