this time when the dream spilled you caught it
The night clings to you -
each breath inhaling the inexhaustible darkness.
Sequestered thoughts unfurl in black as you wait
for the quiet
to speak.
No?
Safe.
You are alone.
Slowly,
tentatively,
you open.
Gently at first then faster and faster as irrepressible dreams unravel -
their size and shape rhapsodical uncontainable in your astriferous mind. You spill over -
each hope each reach larger than the last out of your control you attempt to catch to put back but this time
no.
(follow your lead)
Stars and dust and us – all one.
Your pulse in time with tide, a world too wide to hide
hopes
uniquely
yours.
‘We are such stuff as dreams are made on’:
You are a slice of sky.
Your thoughts the verse of universe.
