#1423 - sleeping people


 

1423

4.327

24.xi.23

sleeping people

for the dream book

 

elswhere aware

always at their presents early

intimate, alone

 

they forget by themselves

 

my wallet for instance

found cash in a drawer

where were the toilets I knew?

 

rude thoughts

 

sleeping people

may only be dream blamed

 

never meant to tug the covers off

 

jacaranda strew woke to

 

they dribble and they snore

 

imagine who

nor can it be helped

 

better among a certain thing since

 

clouds creep like chords to colour

 

sleeping people

are fallen far among the stars

 

no pants required for this

nor foot to pedal touch

 

no wheels

no words

 

it’s as if a life could be folded away

 

we with all the gone

just a thing we say

 

people asleep

even to the farthest spark they dizzy

that’s well back before

 

it’s next year in Jerusalem

we shall return one day
