This)
dream,
this dreaming
sleep, this sleep
of dreams, this
sleeping Dream
, Your edge is soft and hard and keen
A
reaping
reaping
reaping
thing,
A sweeping thing
a silken keen
sharp and cruel
and kind and clean
A crumb of eyes
long and lean
leaning cream
dripping surly
steam
Steam, you who cling
to hours short
and large and green
your beginning mouth
between whose agile slippery lips
a furious creeping mouth,
a fresh and nimble mouth,
leaps, slinging tumbling
a city of thoughts
chuckles fast
slow laughter
on the hours i slay
in nooks of cotton palms
( where Sleep is dreaming
a sleeping Dream
dreams of sleep
)
