Bach weaving drama into my head
Through my holy ears
Following musical lines as they criss cross
to an infinite end
All the voices spoke at once
About many things
I floated there…
Understanding r e a c h i n g me at a comma—
I looked up at the ceiling
Sunlight streaming in from under the blinds
Casting light
Like shards of glass
On darken walls
As I lay there
Cotton throw covering my body,
Hands placed on top of each other on my womb
Resting
Resisting sleep
For a deeper truth
marbled cobalt blue painting
Rich oil
Staining organic whites
No chance of it washing out
Holding a resigned complexity,
keeping it as it is
Destroying
Life as I knew it
Resting
into sleep like a deep sigh.
Brahms floating into a waking dream
Soothing thundering feelings
with more feelings
Merging the sharp edges
Into something
Bigger
Much bigger
Than Bach
