12:35am
day dream fades to night dream
sheds it costume behind the curtains
heavy eyelids
opens a portal from one realm to another
transitions us from harshness
sharpness and demand to
the space of imagination
liminal fields of rest with
hidden pockets of play
joy
sleep
sensuality
waiting for
curious hands to uncover them
dig them from the ground
fingers tangled lovingly with supple roots
why shouldn't we love the earth?
why shouldn't we love to dream of her
intimate
close
every expression sublime and aching to be
tasted
