It's that feeling when you aren't quite asleep

It's that feeling when you aren't quite asleep
but consciousness is altered so that the light

suggests a form. Moving toward her I had bumped
my knee on something in the dark, the eights

were sideways on the wrong clock. I felt her hip
under my hand like an instrument that is played

by spirit. It began to rain in through the top
of the window in the car and she was kissing

me under my clothes. Within celestial groupings
I define scripts, I'm singing the phonemes of dreams

in a broad blue ocean unnavigable by ship
nor map. The signs and the symbols of dreams

are graphemes on the dome around my sleeping.
