by Miranda Field

    No mortal ever learns to go to sleep definitively1.  No baby， animal or

    vegetable， intends to sink his vehicle in so soundless a lake.  In such

    cloudy houses， shadows take the shape of something "put to sleep." Any

    oblivion is a field or maze2 a creature grazes in for private reasons. The

    edible3 flower taken from its bed to the table expires on your tongue， and

    this is what we mean by sense of night and utterly4 internal to itself.

    To go to sleep， I think of the bodies in their reservoirs， painstakingly5

    changing from opaque6 to phosphorescent.  How all the while distracted

    Nature pours a perfect solvent7 on their experiment.  I take a half-pill， a

    paradigm8 ignites， a moving sign in rain.  I take a whole， the flame grows

    lower.  One and a quarter， it's just a flicker9.  No sense asking who I am

    then.  Swinging from its dead twig10 in a bush， the aura-like cocoon11， lit up

    by winter sun- the least of its worries the worm.
