Siroun Kaloustian: 3:16am

I like being awake
late
into the early hours

Here
I hear 
dreams of the world

My ears smile.

Listen,
  Marashtsi girls giggling
 conversations with whales
   birth tells its secret
    
   shhhh…(they don’t know I have come—found a door)

this door is a leaky faucet  ..
    ..
   ..
drip,
 drip,
  a few more dreams 
drop
  forming a puddle

Maybe
tomorrow
it’ll be deep enough for me to dive in and fish out my heart.
