Noni's Field

	When I closed my eyes in Noni's field
	We were lying on our backs.
	I dreamt that the ground splits a seam,
	…our spirits, floating.
	When no longer tied into our bodies,
	We left them (wrapping)
	As a sign, to slip into the crack.
	Tired and ready to go.
	But I don't know what goes on.
	I touched my grandfather's face,
	He lay fixed in his casket.
	He lay sewn shut and folded
	So that none could refuse it.
	They had posed, they had painted him.
	I laughed. I let him go.
	His cheeks washed like watercolor sunlight, evening time.
	I could never put my hands back to them.
	Still, I don't know what goes on.
	Will my thoughts burn in unseen patterns?
	Form a dim glow in your mind,
	Long after you remember who it was that I looked like?
	We saw the sky, swarming full with the light that the fireflies made.
	An accidental constellation.
	You, how will you go?
	Out through your mouth in a sigh?
	Into a space we don't know.

	When I closed my eyes in Noni' s field
	We were lying on our backs.
	I dreamt that the ground splits a seam,
	our spirits, floating.
	When no longer tied into our bodies,
	We left them wrapping
	As a sign, to slip into the crack.
	Tired and ready to go.
	But I don' t know what goes on.
	I touched my grandfather' s face,
