SLEEPGRAINS

“These new poems are daring and inventive, intelligently balanced. They are dark, playful, moving, tender and intimate. Sleepgrains offers us fragile meditations on universal themes.”

Paul Norton

mist in jamison valley

for a moment there is a break in the mist,
grey-green outlines of mountains emerge,
steep cliffs and a waterfall,
yet moments later
the valley brimful with mist again —

I remember that there was some rain last night:
now the moon pales and loses face completely,
as the sun jumps through the clouds
and everything is as it had been before:

the old boots are still dreaming
and my feet feel at home —
