Sleep Ethers and Words Lost
Whither shall I linger

Intangible residence keeps me
in the space
where secret messages whisper
a fraction long enough
to curl memory
with a proximity honey-laden
fading 'sweet second-ness' elapse
descent to wakefulness
My hunger to burrow
deep inside
this union between worlds
a struggle
of almost predetermined loss
a grasp
to transcribe
‘other realm’ potency thick with atoms
never touched
let alone seen
Heralds from on high
Answers that sleep-slip beneath detection
Remedies a routine bypass
of every financially driven pharmaceutical
to freely
renew
revive
restore
Trails that defy track and trace
amidst slumber’s serene transitions
burst my heart
chest
longing
like a honeybee grinding overtime
drunk off the carrier weight
of its own nectar
I forever fly
in search between ethers
to commit mystic
to memory
someday
One day
Then shall re-emerge
with sand-rimmed eyes
and write it all
aaahhhhhhhhh
