Audubon
For a pillow, Homer, who perfected the art of wandering, Faithful guide through night's unmapped sea. Beside the twin screens of my closed eyes, Caravaggio, That master of shadow and light. Next, a dictionary of languages, its conjugations Stretching my tongue across seven continents. To solve the complications of the heart, the poems Of Dickinson, to whose measure it has always aspired. At my right hand, the Bible, for what I need to swear to. At my left, Whitman, for democracy's broad embrace. Stacked end to end, the great Russian novels for a spine. In their vast worlds, my whole weight is a mote of dust. For a foot rest, Audubon's books of bright features, wings beating Cover to cover, bearing me back from sleep's readable shore.Type of Print
