Now And Then
Every now and then
I get the impression
I am somewhere else.
Although my bones are in position
For the shake that will break me
There are places I have not seen.
I could have been there
Before if I had tried
And not relived the world
That whispers when I sleep.
The murmur and creek
Of dreams failing on a beat,
A single misgiving
On any particular word.
Falls somewhere between
The place I have loved and lost,
The slow moving silhouette
Of somewhere else.
