Sleep Lines


My body is a notepad
With sleep lines written across the surface.
They are art, pure, perfect poetry. 
They are the lyrics of a song
Best sung by a yawn;
A melody whose dedicated choreography 
is stretched limbs
In the elated presence of birds, 
Chirping their cheers
Accompanying my performance
With the rhythm of wingbeats. 
 
To every waking moment 
a new concert.

  1. There is indeed music in the mundane. Now I have one more reason to love sleep (not that I ever needed a reason.) Beautiful poem, Marcel.
