Rest from the Rational
Straining at the bounds,
Quite beyond the dictates of Reason.
The vague antenna of
Some faculty expunged
From comprehension
By the conscious mind.
The epitomized receptacle
For longings unrequited,
Quite beyond the plausible.
Strains and snatches of bird-whispers,
Billious tendrils vivid
Behind indiscretions of closed lids.
Freeing the itinerant spirit
Cuffed with ponderous clasps
From the restraint of
A spiked collar
Yet not from its leash
Of air, unseen metal,
And verve.
Calling out in straits and satchels
Of soft grime most eloquent,
In ever-increasing absurdity
As one nears the gates of slumber
On the very border
Yet still so far
From respite celestial.
O precious Dissolution!
Even the merest glance
Of your billowing robe
Grants me peace unsurpassed.
