A lyrical monologue that uses dream imagery to explore sleep as a mental state. The speaker describes knocking like distant cannons, a ceiling specked with stars and planets, walls that bend like paper. The repeated line "Sleep becomes your mind" traces consciousness dissolving into sleep.

Chapters

The knock outside the window echoes now within, though soft like distant cannons. The ceiling's newly vaulted, specked with stars and salt and peppered with the planets. And sleep becomes your mind. Sleep becomes your mind. The walls begin to taper, pliable as paper, drifting and aflutter. Across the falling dark you step and so embark and dance like falling water. And sleep becomes your mind. Sleep becomes your mind. Someone is calling you. Someone is calling you.
