a poem for my grandfather

asleep you taste
the cloves on your tongue
asleep you dream
the books are ignited
asleep you dream
the ideas are fading
asleep you stir
the sheep are bleating

asleep
he is on the floor
quietly, the men come
the door of no use
you knew he would
leave out the window.

I was sitting in a basement room with a couple of friends, and the little basement window along the ceiling was open. A wisp of something, like a little cloud, came in through the window, circled the ceiling and left where it came in. We all (4 of us)agreed it was a supernatural phenomena.

I especially like the short poem/comment about Le Peur.

so good.

sorry if this poem scared anyone for real. my family heritage and narrative is superstitious and macabre.
