| Dream Poem | |

A real fragment from a dream I had last night. Most of it simply flew away . . .
I woke up, quite intrigued with a poem I dreamed I’d saved safely on GW ‘For Me’, thinking “I must edit that!” Then I realised, as wakefulness intruded, that I hadn’t saved it – it was all in my dream. Words and lines flew away – I pushed myself back into a sleepy state and sleep-walked downstairs, found a pen and wrote this down – a fragment of what I’d had . . . Not the Kubla Khan, I know! But weirdness has no bettering! (for those who know me, 'Beardless has no lettering!) I think it’s about a dead soldier, but in my dream I was simply obsessed by ‘homonyms’, and ‘lies’ meaning ‘reclines horizontally’ or ‘untruths’ were swirling in my head. I promise no opium or skillets of boiling milk were involved! I didn’t even have Mr Porlock’s unwelcome knock on the door as an excuse for brevity! Anyone else had this strange experience? Cheers! John X Dream Death is in him spoken Death within him lies He fell under a sinking sun That pales, falls and dies Death lies under his eyelids Truth lies underground His prayer has gone before him He never made a sound.
