Night Trip
Near the bedroom blind
dark pales to light.
Embodied still
to my surprise
I stare - blink - flutter eyelids -
test toe movement.
Body may see me
through another day.
What had I dreamed, then?
It must have been
of disembodied travel
leaving flesh behind -
almost to the terminus
once more, once more
checked and passed
by the stern conductor
return ticket valid -
safe passage -
looking in to where
my stilled shape reclined
surprised it would be
reinhabited.
