To Sleep With Eagles


My slumber is blessed;

Two carved Eagles rest
& stand guard

Against

Hosts
Of
Ghosts:

They were purchased
By my father.

He said I would soar again
Further & Farther -

In the manner
Of a

Great golden

Eagle -

As I close my eyes
& closed eyes become skies…

Give me that instrument
For all my lament

That obscurity implies -
Never ever cried by these

Eyes…

Give me an adagio
Matrix of slipstreams, sent to

Indigo…

I will perform the
Aerials

&

Marvels…

Of

The

Seemingly suicidal.
