October 2017 Collage Poem: The Strangeness of Dreams
Birds in their time
Snatched by roaring winds
To dream of whatever is there
In the shadow is a haunted face
As another lies awake waiting now
Water, rising, frogs, fish, fins, brushing
The legs as they passed by
The hazy days of summer
And all that racket
From next door
Wish I could sleep!
To dream is to sleep
To sleep is to dream
The mystery ends with staring strange
Eyes waiting at King's Cross
A succubus or an incubus to catch
Where dreams were unfulfilled and snatched
Journeys going nowhere
Prostestations are in vein for to sleep is to dream
Scrawled in ragged weed
A haunting, a party, a beautiful country
And swingers seeking paradise in dreamy dreams.
