how do you fall asleep?

while the ocean
is busy making blankets
only to unravel
them in foam--
while orion wears his
belt of bottle-caps
& soda tabs--
we will inevitably 
be found 
with your eyes 
busy stealing so
many stars--
what kind of
fire are you?
& what kind of
water am i?
skin becoming
the soft stones who
rest in the clay
of the creek--
i don't trust
winter anymore
or rain
but i trust sleep
next to you--
nestled
somewhere
between 
currents--
did you know
the universe is
one big pond--
comets growing 
webbed feet like
tadpoles--
let's wake
up on the surface
of the moon--
look for rivers
to walk in
