on with both hands, not ever
doing the next thing. I will
find a way to loop the rope
around me so when I sleep
I will not fall. Warm clothes
will be delivered.
Blimey. The wind is everywhere.
Most things live suspended
in matter as dense as itself.
We sink to the bottom like
weighted divers.
The perfect twist.
The nest of sleeping mice.
I’m still. I must move
all my muscles in the same
moment to be this still.
I think of the rope.
The rope disappears.
Rope
The only thing I can possibly dois stay here forever, hanging
on with both hands, not ever
doing the next thing. I will
find a way to loop the rope
around me so when I sleep
I will not fall. Warm clothes
will be delivered.
Blimey. The wind is everywhere.
Most things live suspended
in matter as dense as itself.
We sink to the bottom like
weighted divers.
The perfect twist.
The nest of sleeping mice.
I’m still. I must move
all my muscles in the same
moment to be this still.
I think of the rope.
The rope disappears.
