The normally placid and willing to bend stands stubborn and straight in a ramrod pose listening, listening, to the sense of a dream speaking below the level of known. No sound emanates from unearthly speech yet the no hum, no moan, no gurgle or groan, displaces the hold of realistic notions and loosens the ties of current abodes. Up-up and I’m flying the sky of a wish beautifully there in the middle of feel and who doesn’t duck the hands of a lie when caught in the sense of a dream? Down-down to a vacant and empty stare and the turn, turn, right turn-away, into the tautness of opposition to the demands of an early grave. But the grave simply laughs in the face of a dream that doesn’t make sense to even a “me”! Helen / 29 July 2006 |
