Heron 3: photo by Tom Raworth, 2008
Drowsiness, identity drifting,
some kind of white
flower seen through isinglass,
stupor, bliss,
the moment before sleep
as the foretaste of the moment
before death -– experience
of space receding, forgetfulness,
fate a self held mesh
in time like dust in a net
through which breath sifts with
the same kind of wet thin
cloth to skin feeling
as of gauze or muslin
