Sleeping

Impenetrable fortress of sleep

Portcullis of shuttered eye graffitied

Sight subjective the experience exclusive 

The inner lid the lid of night, planets ricocheting off it whispering of collisional fertilisation

The dark everywhere is that which I do not or cannot see, that which I am not presently experiencing or otherwise aware thereof

My closing eyes guiding down armageddon like a bad parker

Getting out of here, stopping to check it out and getting caught, the nosy parker

The get out the head south the new route, then that old doubt

That old mouth that sang us every plate we ate, causing trouble again

World ends at my shutting eyes

Where I end and where it ends commensurate

Eyes islands, where day bends and night night’s spends

All going dark now

I lid.
