dreams and nightmares - no. 114



three stripes





a moebius loop
turned up in my morning dreams
and then it was gone


blickling hall

















dreams and nightmares - no. 113


the cornfield dawn



the air burnt hot rows of corn
bleeding through the crevasse
there was no rain
no air
no sound

the cloud hung still
a humid brooding mass
bruised
and purple streaked
to the ground

in which tiny scurrying insects
danced
among the weeds
and
scorched grass

this was the cornfield dawn

dreams and nightmares - no. 112


layers

we came
to the second red pill
dropped in thin clouds
of a sliced up sky

she was the dry riser
smoking
trains and trams
and marching bands

cut to the heart
of fractured dreams
swimming
in the big heat

and each time we peeled back a layer
another reality
appeared
and turned
itself
inside
out
and
upside
down

and
the leading lines
called us
forever
on
