Liberté, Égalité, Humanité
the Moon lies
in some galactic gutter
off his face on space junk
leaving all the lights on
so many colours, constellations confused
by brilliance of the luminous clutter
and you here, warm, safe, sound asleep
to the universal song and dance
of the stars going loopy
given their chance

Sleep called me
I was out
Sleep left a message
I missed it
Sleep had a stern word
“My office, first thing”
Left me to restless contemplation
considering consequences

unjiggling stuff
mixing up bits and pieces
sleep’s webbed tapestry

What is that thing called
when believe yourself awake
but are still asleep?
~

Not entirely sure
what actually happened
I was fast asleep

what is going on?
all pre-conditions were met
awake, not dreaming

suddenly not mine
wrestling for space in own space
whose dream is this now?

to activate dreams
start by counting cows then sheep
then feed fresh born lambs
n.b. I have skipped ‘On Dreams xiii’ for now.

’tis funny how they
are current, as if no past
no future, just tense

then all four appear
white, red, black and pale shadows
spare me these night mares
