THE EDGE OF SLEEP

carotid artery of life cracked

there’s no one holding me

spread out on my eyelashes is the chart of the depths

from the cross-section of the cliff-herb

i am squint-eyed for the blueness

 

the color of hope disappeared

reality is an arrow made out of bone

is someone wondering if it is a ritual

i am at the bedside with the deep richter scale

of a child who swallowed a thrill

its hands freeze, at the solstices of fire

no way for brewing the dreams breaking dreams

after, it is like hitting a mirror of water

it is the meaning, the sound in emptiness

i am the tip of a match lighting a torch

crackled, this is the balance haste of the object

it is on the scorpion walk

there are many scouts in the caravan of fear

perhaps all of them are made out of error

i am the toe of a thought

sank into the river of the mince of life

life, it is a pick of hypothesis

an arrow, on hand for a long time,

as if it is a part of fittings

indistinguishable, whether it is dead or alive

i am the tip of the nail of the minding of life

 

a deafening regret symphony

harangue with an atlas strength

as long as the pebbles of the elephants come off, clay from your face

if a geomantic work was drawn which is not known by everybody

yes i am the master of the replies… ask

i am rope’s end of the nothingness scaffold in the life puzzle

this crier was meant for me, and these doomsday whistles

the elevation to take down the cave and a strong collapse

yet the wheels are smoothly turning at the mill… heart. mind is fine

one large phoenix perches on each scale pan

on my walkway, with a jug likely to break

i am the edge of sleep in forgotten nooks and crannies
