Steady breeze around an unsteady leaf

Staying calm amid the fall
of measured slats,
holding up everything
except
the dirt & the trees;
sitting still thru
the decomposition of dream,
hope & wonder___
even
the associated horror for contrast
got smashed;
sleeping peacefully w/
one eye always open on the off chance
there may be a reason
for the intrigue
of sight,
while supposedly in dream.
