carson-vision

I had a vision / of all the people in the world / who are searching for God

massed in a room / on one side / of a partition

that looks / from the other side / (God’s side)

transparent / but we are blind. / Our gestures are blind.

“The sleeper, real and dear, is carved on the dark.

Minerals of sleep are travelling into him.

Travelling out of him.

Signal leps in his wrist.

Caught to me, caught to my nerve.”

Anne Carson | “TV Men: The Sleeper”
