Dreams 2022
Wide Asleep
(4/23/2022)
the dreams
that I remember
I remember
as dreams
those
that I don’t
still leave
lingering
lasting
impressions
tiny twists
of distorted
perceptions
fleeting
flashes
of sights
sounds
feelings
those
are the sources
of worry
I fear
that those
disconnected
sensations
mingle
with memories
lines
from books
lyrics
from songs
scenes
from movies
giving me
an altered awareness
of the reality
that I
have experienced
of the life
that I have
led
those
who know me
know very
little
and I
know them
only
as silhouettes
bits
of disremembered dreams
brightening
the black
