Edgar Allan Poe clearly enjoyed writing about dreams. Dream. A Dream Within a Dream. Dreamland. and Dreams.
I like dreams, also.

you let me down again.
and it’s sad that this ‘you’ is plural.
scenic train rides are nice
the sun went from white to gold as i tried to sell you my soul.
but i noticed you were already over the horizon,
and my arms fell back to my sides.
.
you didn’t even look back,
i couldn’t reach you,
you started running,
i couldn’t keep up.
.
i fell into silence and it was so abrupt.
i’m still waiting for someone to pull me back up.
nobody makes you do that?
i used to make you do that.
let's go live in a hole.
shaking.
i can’t find the way out.
why can’t i ever find the way out?
someone hid the door.
i never found it.
i knew i’d be left behind.
forgotten.
i think you found what you didn’t find with me.
i feel toxic.
i know i’m so completely toxic.

but i don’t wear my darkness on my sleeve
i’ve basically just been staring at this computer screen for the past four hours and have accomplished very little. sometimes i feel like a stuffed animal, just bobbing through life. full of fluff. or whatever it is stuffed animals are stuffed with. cotton? i’m listening to Richie Havens sing Freedom at Woodstock. my dance as art teacher had the class watch it. i don’t really...
In a Boat, D.H. Lawrence
See the stars, love, In the water much clearer and brighter Than those above us, and whiter, Like nenuphars. Star-shadows shine, love, How many stars in your bowl? How many shadows in your soul, Only mine, love, mine? When I move the oars, love, See how the stars are tossed, Distorted, the brightest lost. So that bright one of yours, love. The poor waters spill The...

Under the Oak, D.H. Lawrence
