My husband says
I hoot and holler
and talk in my sleep.
I’m not sure what
that is all about.
He says I often shout
things like, “No!”, “Stop!”
and ‘Get out!”.
Exorcising demons,
I suppose….
The ghosts of
dead ex’s
have me in their throes.
Thank God
I rarely remember
or wake up
in a state,
I just hear about it later,
I wish his hearing was better,
or my words would correlate.
Words that may solve the mystery
of my anguish,
are just junkpiles of gibberish.
Apparently I hoot and holler
when I sleep.
As I’m dreaming deep,
it sounds to me as if
I’m unwilling to accept defeat
taking a stand
on my own two feet.
Or so I’d like to think.
Of course I’m clueless,
and my ignorance is bliss.

Well, I guess having a spouse that's hearing "no, stop, get out of here" is preferable to hearing "yes . . . Oh! yes - More!"

Great piece, my friend, enjoyed.

Yes, indeed . . . "ignorance is bliss."
