a strange rhythm wakes me from a sleep I didn’t know I had taken from the closeout bin of a dingy store while the rain ruins plans we didn’t want to keep

before sleep
little storms in my jawbone
squirrels in my fingers
on which the secret fall
falls on
willows and other
memories sold
the fairy tale home
a trail of stars
to shelter fresh
organs made of glass
who needs all this change for the
better bury me in styrofoam
the song crickets compose ever new night blue stars
black licorice in plastic dreamless sleep
because sleep is close to death
I’m an iamb
a map of broken sleep heat steals the rain
shake off the weight of sleep and say it yellow leaves
after restless sleep the creaking needs of birds nearby
between both sides of sleep tossing and turning the sharpness of birds
other animals
