Sleep Me (Poem 131)

Sleep me, close 

My eyes and rest me

Savagely, surrender me 

And wrap me in 

Unthinking swells of 

Indigo unconsciousness

Sleep me, slip me

Into a nest of 

Qiviut clouds

Downy and warm as

Primeval loam

Sleep me, sink me 

In sea-glass

Shards of silence 

That cut through the 

Thinking thinking thinking

Aloft, sleep me home

Under, drift down

Sun-slanted leagues

And layers of tranquil

Slumber, peace of 

Mind, the gap 

Between has 

And will is deep, so 

Sleep me sleep me sleep
