I Sleep

and crows cawing
repetition of mind
or dream
crows cawing seven
times
figures and numbers
suddenly they stop
halt
cessation is endless
no other sounds
only movements
a bird swoops
chattering, the rains
abate
sky opens into fervid cry
movements up, down
halt.
I ease myself in a chair
the hills brood
over time
the crow snaps at a twig
a dog moves languidly
I sleep
