Dreams Not Written

I sleep in night vision goggles

pieces of my psyche

float

glow in the dark

swirl

magnetize

to a center of gravity

form a montage

where my inner story

tells itself.

The stage vaster than the sky:

I see fears

old sorrows

lingering wounds

laid bare.

Sometimes the Mask of Comedy

inserts itself

adds Technicolor

and sit-com

to the Panavision.

I’ve written these stories

for so many years

notebooks full

as many as I can remember

and have time to record.

But busyness often robs me

of the best dreams

both waking and

sleeping.

They go unrecorded.

Yet I know

deep within:

the dreams that still live

in my body and soul

are the most powerful

weaving a script

that will tell the whole story

when I finally
fully awaken.
