Surrendered. Now, I finally slept. I dreamt a dream of horses--white, like statues in a sacred mist, moonlight--sanctified. I wore a dress of gossamer. The stars were winking, knowing eyes... I felt a wetness on my cheek. Surprised, I knew, that joy, too, cries... A breeze of blue-- the wind swept through (whirl of silver clouds mind's eye) when then, the flood-- a scent of blood-- (sweat of night in day, reprised...) Horses--headless-- shank exposed, cutting, jagged, as a knife. Red-on-white-- no peace at night, and daytime will not be my home. Even through the depth of sleep, a massacre lay at my feet. Entrails of this majesty, dance in sorrow's liquid light... Too much--TOO MUCH--- for me to see... I don't know how to close eyes twice. A silent scream. I writhe awake. drowning in the sweat of sorrow. Awake, alive, to my chagrin-- aware-- I'll sleep again--tomorrow? * * * note: just my explanation for my incredible bouts of insomnia...my record for time spent awake was 70 hours...sigh...yep, I was holding conversations with shadows at that point...sigh. Wish me luck tonight...I YAM tired. |
