She managed a single thought
To form
Inside her vacuum of
What she knew she ought
To do.
So along the darkened dreary
Tracks,
The stones all upturned and
Spurned with lack
Of yearly upkeep,
She walked in her sleep.
The porter cleared the way for her,
Lifting the
Latch and failing
To catch her name,
But welcomed her nonetheless.
Precisely before the waking point,
She blinked with empty eyes,
Filling up with daytime,
And everyone saw the
Insides.
