That Time Between

Stationary sideway steadiness
drips into languid limbs
slipping down wrinkled blankets and tumbling
over soft edges along with subconscious unreadiness to
abandon full awareness and sink
into unsure weights of mind states.

Limp legs hint at lethargy in the way they lean into
sheets, feeling like heavy anchors pulling body down
to Earth after restless
release into the dusk-covered
room, under thick atmospheric waves like tides pulled
forward and into invisibility without full reflected light
to expose its decision
on its placement.

Distanced lid shuts and shudders
and re-openings shut out the
mid-grey air shifting over the listless contours of mellow skins,
twisting in meandering lines along with shallow breaths
in that time between that
can't be named.

Drifting in and out of stable clarity and testy teases of time leaps
drops a dizziness into the leisurely state of unawake and clouds
the already hazy craze
of undecided mindfulness.
