Day after night

Day after night
It happens like a parting of fronds
With silky fingers
And cautious smile
Not a moment too soon

Where sleep can't live
Then again in silence
For smoky chords
That break apart bars
In the cross hatch
There are high beams
Living without fear

If you go there
You join the dreaming
In a dance that eats lush
Sings in fragrant tones
Reminiscent of the very beginning
Where swamps bubbled
Boiled hard and never touched
To this day
