Roundel for a Sleeping Youth in the Window Seat
︎︎︎ Tom Will
︎ Mar 24, 2026
The head sleeps on my shoulder,
The head of a young man
Somewhere over Boulder.
The head sleeps on,
A stranger kind of Gorgon
Blinding not the beholder,
But both us over Oregon.
In ages somewhat older
You’d be signed by Rodin,
But today it is your molder
The head sleeps on.
The head of a young man
Somewhere over Boulder.
The head sleeps on,
A stranger kind of Gorgon
Blinding not the beholder,
But both us over Oregon.
In ages somewhat older
You’d be signed by Rodin,
But today it is your molder
The head sleeps on.
