I lost count of sheep
couldn’t quantify cattle
quietly slipped off

Dream #23
unable to speak
shouts stifled at source
legs bound, arms held
this is not what I came for
how do I wake myself
when so constrained by sleep?
will it end like this?
drowned in white light?
in silence?

Dream #20
you know, this thing that didn’t happen
anywhere but my head, seemed real
I remember everything about it
conversation, colours, the amazing food
all the personal touches
every sensation, but smell
smell? nothing.
I thought nothing of it until I was asked to leave
as I said, it seemed real
but without a scent of the place
without that, I knew something was wrong
I thought I could smell a rat

Dream #14
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

Dream #9
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

On Sleep (n+1)
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?
