A PATCHWORK QUILT

I REMEMBER A PATCHWORK QUILT

THAT WAS NAVY UNDERNEATH

I REMEMBER HOW SOFT IT FELT

AND HOW SOUNDLY I WOULD SLEEP

 

I REMEMBER ONCE FLOATING ABOVE

WATCHING MYSELF SLEEP

AS SOON AS MY FINGERS STARTED TO RUB

THE QUILT I MADE THE QUANTUM LEAP

 

BACK SAFE AND SOUND

NO ONE AROUND

TO WITNESS THE STRANGE SENSATION

BUT I AM SURE  IT WASN'T MY IMAGINATION
