what we should set ourselves on
now
is traveling without moving
and on learning how to rest
all this week i tested the limit til
my body's strength was gone and then
like Merlin tangled in the branches of
his tree i awoke
after a thousand years, blinking
in drowsing sunlight
and at the end of this pot of coffee i know
the world is alright
though not all of it
and not right now
and in bed last night
i dreamnt of my lover
though i've never met him
