In the waking sleep
Ronald Tirino 1962 (NYC)
In the waking sleep
In the unshaped wholeness the sleeping wakes
Over floods of torrent streams
Empty to the mind and stones of time
Through clouds in sunlit haze
Held its quite solitude
In the silence of the storm
Images of shapeless shapes
Casting images circling shadows
On the surfaces of spraled wind
Through the stones of time
