#2,583 I was almost awake
I was almost awake –
I knew
it –
but still I moved towards
her by my false-slept steps –
& I held her
[as if I did] –
as my
projected fugue beget her –
I
made her
[again] in her auld
self ‘though it was sleep –
In
my hands her as-if buttocks
fitted
[again] –
a dream-fool
in my conjures
[but I did not
want to move] –
finger-curls
[in time] held missing flesh
