Not sleepwalking, but waking still.
with my hand on a gun, and the gun
in a mouth, and the mouth
on the face of a man on his knees.

But if you asked that night -
did I mention it was night? - why I didn't even try
to jimmy the lock to spring the sparrow, I couldn't say,
truthfully, that it had anything to do with envy, with wanting
a woman to plead as deeply for me as these sparrows did,
one for the other.
