Dreaming awake
The butterfly flutters
As the smell of toast
Wafts.
The crow caws
In a dark morning sky
… And the dream made it worse.
Awake in your sleep
The blackbird flaps its wings
As it hurries away.
Checkmate:
My queen to your king
As the first drop of rain falls
…And the dream made it worse.
She runs through the
Narrow
Halls and he sits there,
Imperiously,
Impassively.
The raven gives one last caw
…And the dream made it worse.
wow,, *hugs* lovely words/emotions/mind pictures
Thank you 🙂
*Hugs* back to you!
I like the repetition of the title. I like the line “my queen to your king”, and the enjambment of “through the/ narrow”. I like it!
🙂 Thanks. Trying to capture the dreamscape with those concepts!
Agree with Francesco – like the repetition and the (to me) frantic hop-about/panic nature of this piece.
intriguing ! Thoroughly captivating ~ Deborah
