Speaking of sleep, here's a few lines from Randall Jarrell's "Woman":
Let me sleep beside you, each night, like a spoon;It's been quite a while since I read any Jarrell, but it was good to be reminded of these lines - there's a certain earthy beauty in them.
When, starting from my sleep, I groan to you,
May your "I love you" send me back to sleep.
At morning bring me, grayer for its mirroring,
The heavens' sun perfected in your eyes.
