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).
