a poem in the form of a review
(Hmm ,,,, so didn't do this)
this pierced lullaby
cotton cocoon'd invitation
with
contrast stark against the tumult of days
what goes around
comes around
movement knitted
sure & static & cooling
to
alabastair slumbers
... waiting
... waiting
delight caught between breaths
and
the turn of a page
the only sounds; a soft tinkling of the cats collar as he comes in
and the call of the midnight-thirty train
sleep = this late-hour chapter heading
infused with sharp moonbeams of silver
a sacred place space of dreams
drifting
suspend
drift farther still ....
sleep becomes a place for the beautifully possible
this pierced lullaby
goodnight
goodnight
