Sleep
i never seem to do enough
my sleep has claws
and not, soft padded paws
foreign countries invade my shadows
strange beings rummage –
in the stairs below
electricity is a sexual feeling
when you are stepping out
and an out of body experience
will make you question your teaching
but spirituality will always be –
so far reaching
i have go to move sometime
i am not like the clock
there is no regular hourly chime
my sleep has doors
and not softly padded flaws
James Garratt – Friday 21st June
