When You're Weary But Also Descriptive
When I rest I sleep like water
Into potting soil newly laid
Into my bed I find myself and fold
Like ironed sheets and cabernet
I dry and dry my desert eyes
On quiet silk
Unwind like coils and fade away
Like the distant colors of a prefixed sun
As its dullest emerald glow
Is slowly polished with grey
Until all that's left is the sleepless ore
Black as opal jewel with organic shine
I am tirelessly writing myself away
On smooth rocks from a vibrant stream
And all I want are mountainsby
A Setting Son (6) - This one simply evolved from a single line about wanting sleep. Goodnight to soon.
