Rest, by Miguel Heatwole

I gave to sleep a heavy hour
And every mental tissue bathed
Naked in its power
Surreal and drifting, rainbow black
Submerged in depthless lidded pools
Spiralling and slack

And when I stood again like crystal
Sharp clear and glittering
Reasoning, bright
Open to clarity
Sleep’s rich colours faded in the light
