I thought only you fell asleep like that

I thought only you fell asleep like that

(This is how things are in the beginning,

Greedy, Everything for the taking, 

it all belongs, to you).


Yesterday I feel the slight symptoms

and I think it is coming, and it does

until a He, the wrong He is jolted awake

by the siren. did you fall asleep too? he asks.

almost, you lie


Still each time, I feel that same first thrill

of witness

as someone slips beyond you into slumber

as you feel them fall between your fingers

into dream


(it is a private (precious) thing).
