On setting down


On setting them down


Why do I live

what do I live for

it is not for the dream of the day

the cold hand of night

brushing away

what little I have achieved or have turned

out of light

to be expressed in a new way

protein of course

and water I need

I need to urinate slightly more often than I bleed

but to much the same psychic purpose

do I live for sleep

and the truth of its dreams

properly spoken

interpreted

in the unwashed tomb that will be my bed

is it to finally rest my head

is that all I live for

at dawn

I am wide awake to the seagulls rattling

I do not know what brought forth

this sigh this living light

this sign on the bay

electricity crackling

I merely endure the sounds

that descend and surround

sensations I just recall

and with a soft heart


set down
