The Sleeping Field
I am one,
In a nameless field
Not far from the city
A cool night,
Dim midnight,
Around are flecks of dew
I lay down, upon a ground
Of weeds and condemned-cattle food
I am alone,
Yet I could not be,
More consoled,
The trees they sleep,
People’s thoughts are meek
As they turn and twist in dreams
While they slumber,
All the world's ordered, neat,
And I am happy,
To lay,
On this meal of the dead,
And smile until,
This rest meets it’s end
……………………………
Save me from the dawn
(Of man)
