wake to find you
tight sleeping
kiss flutter over
your soft undersides

wash worry clean
until eyebrows smooth
teeth unclench
breathe easy
again for me


I sleep dream
a bubble
we wake
inside

joseph heller
style

blur
muted
safety tested
filled with our
own oxygen supply

smooth and easy

Oh my...

there is something more here. Delicate... too delicate. The muted blur, oxygen supply. The catch 22, living and dying together... fading together. There is another level here, disquised in the sparcity-- that's the catch. Well done.

I thought I knew my Heller

But I didn't get the catch 22 reference. Nevertheless, it is a very delicate poem, carefully constructed and lovinly sensual. Yay!

Yossarian where are you?

Sparsely written, it still makes its point.

Too sparse?

It is what it says.
