sunbeam


blink slowly
blink
finally see through
see through
the glaze
the gauze that the
dancers pull for you
notice the
sun in your eyes
but don't reach
reach
for shade
your
slow motion
through the
fast foward fast foward
of the
people about you
everyone
rushing and you
be still
you've escaped
escaped
chaos
only you've
been saved been rescued
with no need
for the ring on
the rope
on the rope


you say nothing
silence is
the final word
lost but in
control
of dreams
