Fell Asleep Reading Milosz



it's my duty as a poet to admit

i don't understand anything

time stretching backward forever

the immensity of death

in the dream everything was fine

until we crossed the border

on this side hills and trees

and a nappy blue sky

on the other side nothing

i awoke to write it down

the dog sighs in her sleep

a beetle crawls across the keyboard

the wind roars in moonlight
