Part Nine - Asleep

sinking further into pillows
encapsulating darkness
and a wet dream full of strangers

all the wool has fallen
to the bottom of the quilt
and my face is so cold
that i can't even feel my nose
the moonlight casts romantic shadows
through my flimsy curtains.
water drips
slowly down my window

breathe in
breathe out
small contractions
the batting of an eyelid
a haiku of whispered thoughts

things begin to unfold
as the world disappears into darkness

long deep breaths

a forgotten song is softly hummed
not quite loud enough to be noticed
but beautiful enough to be remembered

fingertips
resting softly
skin on skin

beauty

innocence

fragility

sound
silence
a deafening quiet

stillness

darkness



nothing
