On Keeping Cool (Critique 2)

Icare, Henri Matisse
I fold myself between the sheets and fabric envelops me, pushing me from all sides. The pretty pink walls close in on me purring the promise of sweet dreams. I shuffle confused legs and lanky arms in the pursuit of the perfect position. Palms grab at the linen's cool exterior. A handful of brisk water hits pale skin when I find the spot where cool caresses me. Cool holds me as I fall asleep. Somewhere a little girl dreams of being a princess.
