DREAMS
speaking in tongues
to Imagination listening
lingering in the
dim lamplight of deep sleep.

DREAMS
worrying old sores
slicing into tender places
deeper, yet and deeper
than I dare in day.

DREAMS
over-painting boldly
in bright colors
the used gray canvas
of daytime Reason

DREAMS
crossing boundaries shade and hue
forming formless forms
advancing and receding
shapes dancing to a tuneless song

DREAMS
shouting some Will
not mine, but not unknown.
silent shouts, open-mouthed
into black space
