Out of Dust I: "Songs From the Back of Your Mind"
"Night Gown"
Poetry by: Peter Ramos
Please Do Not Feed the Ghost

lyrics

Night Gown
“Ethics is metaphysically prior to ontology”—E. Levinas


The sleeping man hears two voices: one,
small and calling from a great depth.
What the sleeping man once did
to rise among the working
and thinking does him no good. Now
the voice returns,
warbling,

as under water. His rain spirit
come again,
ignorant, insistent.
Its wish—
sink down to moss. Rock.
To origins of salt. His mother

used to take him from sleep
like this. He’d cling and cling.
She pulled him through, wrenching him
out of that lovely dark deep.

The sleeping man, waking, listens
to both voices. Uneasy,
he rises in a day
filled with prickly light.
