A Caress, A Balm

A poem of sleep.

Photo by Motoko Tun on Unspalsh

This is a sacred place

where water sleeps,

lips lie down

in gentle pastures,

vagrant cities weep

in the silent intervals

between prayer and invocation.

Between roses and thorns.

There are no lords to

eat our bread or cops

to hold us ransom, only

starlings who sing us

to sleep and every road

is holy. No cross weighs its

heavy burden on my soul.

Waters kiss the wounds of

our internal empires and

lull us back to sleep.
