Sleeping

It is a splendid pearl;
it floats me out of myself,
my stung skin as alien
as a loose bolt of cloth.”

They were not sleeping in the shelves of bunks.
I saw no men there and no bones of men there.”

Tankard, or spoon,
Earring, or stone,
A watch, some ancient brooch
To match the grandmamma,
Staid sleeping there.”
