Saw you walking barefoot

taking a long look

at the new moon's eyelid

 

later spread

sleep-fallen, naked in your dark hair

asleep but not oblivious

of the unslept unsleeping

elsewhere

 

Tonight I think

no poetry

will serve

 

Syntax of rendition:

submerges the subject

noun is choking

verb disgraced goes on doing
