my eyelids delicate shrouds draped

over sight as I set syllables adrift


half awake in a room rolling down

to sleep breathing thick as night fog

gathered on a northern sea


I sink with elements of plot

submerged as reading flows

into sleep – I push my raft


from the dock of a phrase

my body floating down

as desire dies. I am my effigy.
