Slipstream

“I love the silent hour of night,

For blissful dreams may then arise…”

— Anne Bronte

Just one more note,

a crescendo stilling

me to rest, the coming

silence welcome —

may it ease me into

a slipstream

of unconsciousness,

the place of dreaming,

the place where

the grappling sound

finds image,

diffusing the day’s

noise into a fading haze,

indistinct and far, far away.
