Hypnagogic,
through his mouth,
in the shallow part of the ocean,
lying down on wildflowers but not touching the ground.
Fall asleep.
Nothing stands still.
Deliquescent.
Snow drips down.
Body beneath warm seawater.
Marine mud beneath my body.
Futami sand beneath my feet.
Piles of grass beneath my feet.
Effloresce. Sublimate. Snow.
Nap next to someone in the afternoon,
compassion in the afternoon,
on a cold day where we listen to the rain against the closed windows
until we can't hear the rain against the closed windows.
Hands sealed.

Hypnagogic,
through his mouth,
in the shallow part of the ocean,
lying down on wildflowers but not touching the ground.
Fall asleep.
Nothing stands still.
Deliquescent.
Snow drips down.
Body beneath warm seawater.
Marine mud beneath my body.
Futami sand beneath my feet.
Piles of grass beneath my feet.
Effloresce. Sublimate. Snow.
Nap next to someone in the afternoon,
compassion in the afternoon,
on a cold day where we listen to the rain against the closed windows
until we can't hear the rain against the closed windows.
Hands sealed.
