Cut patterns of sleep
Cut patterns of sleep
printed
on pillowcases on sheets
songs
sung in that other voice
under
the breath
the
memory of singing
lift
your tongue, let it fuzz
paper
evidence sail
toward a shadow of ice
toward a shadow of ice
live
in a cage-like life cave

Don't be discouraged, Pretzel Puss

Cut patterns made from sleep
Cut patterns made from sleep
the
gelatinous sac of sleep
glowing
content seeping
from soles of feet
from soles of feet
unkempt
handstands
vintage
memories
festooned with faded foil
stars the chorus sings
festooned with faded foil
stars the chorus sings
Ride
the wave
chase that electrical pace
don't
be distracted
Play
on, play on, play
the
familiar way
the sun thinks?
the sun thinks?
Cut
from dreams to other dreams
dolly
left, zoom out
4.
don't be distracted don't be didactic
don't be distracted don't be didactic
don't
be monastic don't be retracted
5.
Sleep patterns don't repeat
Sleep patterns don't repeat
nothing
repeats it's all spirals
head
cocks left then right
drawstring
muscles pull
Quizzical
it's called
Place
the poor reader
somewhere
somewhere
quick,
give them water
How
'bout dappled
sunlight on hairy hillsides
sunlight on hairy hillsides
handclaps
robots breakdancing
princesses
& fairy flying horses
monkeys
that speak 21st century lexicon?
Take
the time to get it right
6.
Back in the dream bed
Back in the dream bed
a
long night in tandem
moths
forming for future flight
fanned
hands
too hot for stillness
too hot for stillness
kisses
come out words
whisper in that other voice
talk only to yourself
whisper in that other voice
talk only to yourself
sleeping
dreaming
or dreaming
or dreaming
