Sleep

collage following a poetry recital and my first Noh opera visit.

Sleeping teenagers in my Japanese language class

Heads on the table, deep breathing

like Noh opera singers in kneeling meditation posture

Asleep on stage, as if sleep takes them off-stage, out of sight

A school child sleeps on a stranger’s shoulder on the train

When you sleep in ordinary places, do your dreams spill into the air around you?
