Sleepy Daydream

I have been floating these days, 
in between thoughts, 
in between words. 
I have been grateful, 
and sick to my stomach at the unfairness 
of it all. 
Constellations strung together by invisible
threads pull me back together, 
they place my bare feet gently back on 
soft grass. 
My, I have no idea of what I am trying to say-
but I know, 
I know that  
my eyes are heavy and sleepy daydreams 
have taken root in place of this blanched reality. 
I would love to lay my head on a soft pillow 
tonight and let my thoughts drift out 
into the sea- 
to drown, 
to swim, 
to float. 
To do what heavy and light thoughts do- 
sink or save you.
