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
