“I don’t sleep I am friends with time who passes by in front of my open eyes The clock can go for a long time, to my surprise I am familiar with the dark yet light blue of the sky at dawn I lay there in my bed, waiting, wishing, for the sweet release but it doesn’t come Everyone is asleep and I hear every breath and every snore It can be a very interesting thing or such a bore I don’t sleep”

“Touching the face of the wind, dark wings flex and ease. They read the wisps of clouds forming above them, the dark heaves of mountains below. Now the sudden bounce of a thermal, now the yank of a downdraft, The birds of my mind tilt and swing as I lie in the blue bus, until finally, their taut wings bank up against the wind and they streak out of my head, peeling off one by one, like canoes that have been pointing upstream, arcing back into the roll of the river.”
