Kit Kelen #1171 - everything touches the sleepless skin


1171
everything touches the sleepless skin
for the jetlag series


what a queue through the head!
I take up an instrument in there

the all-to-do
the should-have-done
images of day impede

shapes of day built
this little mystery I am

the neighbours, their quarry
disposing of a corpse

everything slipping
my creatures come

kohitsuji ippiki
kohistuji nipikki

an up and down dream
into the lost reaches
hollows

dream my whale dreams in the weather there
the Ramones in togas
(really Romans)

fascination of the poor
peering into a wallet

I try another side to sleep
when the cat spoke, shy

almost and not quite
all sorts of falling  

my saying ‘it works’ has no effect

I know time ran out of here
and every sense alive

no one ever died of the dream
though many tried to end it there

race the heart to the shops

smell under it is you

cliffhanger fears
suspense

and I suspect the sun

this wishing simply to know
how soon will I be gone?
