pulling myself up

from a groggy nap

as if drunken


with a calm acceptance

of doom

hanging like a sweetness above the bed


the gray twilight darkens

and everything about me

seems subsumed back into some void


where random forms find definition

and become what they denote

and all one has to do is float


heedless of trouble and consequence

to become eyes looking out of the air
