Sleep crowds its way

into my processes;

thoughts find a tired

eye closing and opening;

the mind dances in

and out of reality like

a shot actor, finally

falling to the ground;

revolving around my head,

spinning inside a cocoon of dreams,

a who’s who of images floats past,

too quickly to

be caught and put into words;

the mental coordination slows,

my muscles relax like an unwinding spring;

limp and motionless,

my ideas freeze and disappear,

too heavy to carry,


out of reach . . .

out of focus . . .

in between sleep and consciousness,

not a part of either,

drifting aimlessly past all the

sights and sounds of the day,

of my life . . .

of previous lives . . . perhaps,

that I never knew.

March 1987
