beyond becomes a visage
of densely packed atoms-
and no space to crawl between.
to see through stone concretions,
and sepia-toned vignettes-
there’s some life fluttering.
awaken sleep-awaken sleep
i see mismatched puzzle pieces
filling empty boxes in my home,
in my home i work to empty out.
in my work i used to empty me;
though the meaning and the means
did not divide themselves.
awaken sleep-awaken

awaken sleep-awaken sleep
i see mismatched puzzle pieces
filling empty boxes in my home,
in my home i work to empty out.
in my work i used to empty me;
though the meaning and the means
did not divide themselves.
awaken sleep-awaken
