Free verse № 38020
insomnia plunge
Night licks me off the thoughts
of other human beings;
They scratch out my sadness w/ sleep
while I tweak through the quiet they create
when they shut off their mediums
and discontinue translations,
the soft watery cinema projections
that cloud the world like the stooping fog
I now watch smother the valley-
The film of silence that suspends
All the structures, all the debts
on which the lies and limits depend;
And I'm awake to simmer in,
summer down,
crush, expand & watch
so far into it all.
