Deep ocean of sleep

 We stayed in an old motel with high roof
still too sunny for sleep we tested the bed|
No underlying mattress just layers of blankets
eventually we would sleep

Sleep and forget our surroundings
creak expand and contract with the roof in afternoon heat
Further into willful intoxicating trance
giving ourselves to ultimate stupor

sinking further into warmth
our bodies disconnecting from us
Leaving the slober and trembling behind
transcending each threshold

Like a dinghy through waves of the shallows
The deep anticipating our arrival
Separating currents curving them
 to pull us in an under

Losing our earthbound selves
slowly reduced to simple fish
Lost in the vast recesses 
Inhabited by gargantuan prowling hunters
