(SLEEP)


Last night
-a dream-
long driveway snaking through grassy knolls,
a barn,
a dog,
screaming children

Also,
the bell of a rickshaw
echoing in the soft, Nepali night

Some confusion
as to significance
(ominousness, imminence),
then,
more sleep

Later,
morning opening
on a blue catatonic
whirlwind of light,
the same longing under my skin,
this brokenness still in my bones

The day opened;
anew,
again,
as the newborn's eyes,

And this morning I smiled,
because your skin tasted
like the spring rain
that will never come
