#53 - the emperor

53
22.2.20
the emperor

affairs of a state to sink
making up for lost sleep

came by pillow
and a long way round

the bed a vast expanse across
in continents of time

and had to dream the track together
one head hived to these wishes

each poem pointed to another
tiles sloped away

down into a cistern
a tending of elves, sylphs

secret cities
the day was gently drained

a perfect repose in all conscience
the empress on holidays waking here

texting each other in bed
testing the weather there
