TO MY PILLOW:


Day or night
eclipsed by
an absence


of form


and where is
my enough…


I must have
put (lost) it
somewhere


Hidden in
the recesses
of a dream
once wrought
in slumber


pillow-drenched


now open-eyed
and wondering


how long
the pill
will last


In a body
turned
so soft
with wander


It can
no longer
comprehend


the structure
of sleep

“To My Pillow:,” K.E.B.

INSUMNIA


like the buzz
of a fruit fly,
early June


not even here


or how I can
no longer sleep
without the cool


of your ear—

“Insumnia,” K.E.B.
