dreaming

I woke up dreaming
in the haze of a half-lit morning
your name was on my tongue
a desire to be known filling me

“I want you to notice...” Creep by Radiohead

two a.m.

a brief interlude
of wakefulness

a heart once heavy

tactile, her fingers

touch, everything

everywhere, overlong

savouring

on the fence ‘tween

a cacophony

of quiet, un-mindful

stimulation

overwhelming

and the cool, deep of a

white space

calmly she thrives,

through joy dipped

in sorrow, a heart

once heavy

freely gives

dans le bois or the ant queen

of streams

trickling

through woods

on the water

light ripples;

minuscule her realm

is deep

and far

———————————

de l'eau
qui coule

dans les bois

de l'eau ondule

sur la lumière;

minuscule son royaume

est profond

et loin
