In that time before sleep
when the wall between conscious and sub thins,
my breath wearily rises
as would the gait of an elephant
who has traveled the dusty path
countless times before.
The fall is swift
and lands with a gentle thud
in the dry soil
stirring particles into the still air
swirling above the scene
higher still
until able to witness
the lumbering determination
of all such paths
into one.
