Sleeping at the Open Window
Glenn Hughes
"Glenn Hughes's remarkable poems transform ordinary moments into epiphanies. The smallest details become charged with depth and resonance. Complexities of love and longing, promise and loss, open into blossoms of insight, and we breathe a familiar and necessary sweetnes."
--Tim McNulty
“Dreaming of Immortality in a Thatched Cottage”
—Painting by T’ang Yin, 16th century
So high a mountain, and still
no wind to disturb you, sleeping
at the open window,who discovered something,
and kept it to yourself all morning,
and so
are also awake
and walking the sky
at the center of the picture.
