Poetry #227
(published May 19, 2005)
Insomnia
by Kirk Davis
A circular flock of thumb-sized owls marches
the crust of a pie cooling in a night window.

Their sky is a fraction larger than yours;
their sleep is smaller.

They dream tandem dreams in which
they loop around a black-mouthed sky,

in which diagrams float out
from the real world and inhabit it.

Where their dreams overlap
the sky grows even larger.
