In the Hour Before Becoming


Painting by Walfrido Garcia


in the hour before becoming


in the hour before becoming
magical, you

disconnect all the alarms

tie a knot
into each straying breath

open your eyes

close your eyes

make a bold leap

and ring every telephone in every
dream four times

until one world rings
truer than the other
