Sandman
moving
dream to dream
through wavering scenery
pastel doorways
breathing inward
coat pockets
full of sleepy bedrooms
sand leaking
through tangerine stitching
each grain
microscopic lens
each lens
picturesque
peering eye
each eye
iris
flowering open
citrus rainbow
tangerine
into grapefruit pink
lemon
into radiant lime
orangey peach
melting into mint
fine luminous fibers
spreading outward
from black center
painted eyelashes
delicate rays
around eclipsed pupil
colors dilating
contracting
dilating again
tiny points of light
wavering
beneath surface
each iris
vivid target
concentric rings
quietly luminescing
opening
into someone else
one grain
one eyelid
one borrowed
moonless night
eyelid lowers
thin curtain
of translucent skin
citrus colors
moving underneath
tangerine sparks
lemon-white pinpoints
grapefruit halos
floating
streaking
multiplying
press gently
colors bloom
release
citrus rainbow
scatters
behind lashes
eyelid rises
orangey-peach sun
hanging low
in sky
edges wavering
softly melting
as if morning
has not completely
decided
what shape
it wants to be
