between states

I sleep so much that i lose the sense of what's real

what is living

my head is dizzy, my ears burn

i open the window to ventilate myself

the moon is shy behind massive clouds

of a grey so dark i confound it with the night

the fresh wind on my cheeks takes away my fever

and the appealing lights urge me to travel

in straight line on agile feet

comes a disanchanted thought

reality is too much for myself alone

i will miss a warm place to welcome me

and a comprehensive guide along the way

...

an unspeakable flash of arms as a home

  1. "reality is a terrible down"
    I can't remember in which poem I read this, but this line stayed with me. It was either from Grace Paley or May Swenson.

    I want to be your guide...

  2. oh! it's from the poem "Having Dinner" by Grace Paley, I see I posted it some days ago with that line as the title.
