Poesy

The breeze is a good nurse tonight,
snaps a clean cool sheet around me,

I am in leaning over the parapet of ecstasy
from the sweet medicine. 
Tomorrow, I will eat the names of things
and become ill again.

Listen, dusk birds,
I sing of insight
albeit in borrowed tone,
and snatch the fibers of context
to line my nest.
