An amazing peacefulness descended
On my little street this morning just
As I was coming back into my body
Coasting between the houses and trees
Landing my rickety plane of bones
In the right warm bed and dream
And I could feel the whole street
Bathed in a yellow celestial light
A stillness lasting almost an hour
Then out of nowhere a buzz-saw
Started up down the way moaning
Attacking a palm tree and gnawing
And the thud of its falling
Sent the Seraphim sprawling
And raised me alive from my bed
