REVERIE.
Between sleep and wakefulness
hangs morning twilight.
A no-time and no-where place
whose stirring shards, like hardened ice
pierce warm languid sighs with cold.
Between dawn and reveille
lies reverie\'s need.
A dreamless and drowsy state
with ideas, which like motes fly unseen
to revoke sloth with short notice.
Between planes of rouse and retreat
yawns dawdle-dimension.
A pre-rise site of wait-machines
where doze re-uses slumber\'s intention
until liveliness takes control.
