Dreams,
though sampled in the least of light
numbering in too many
shades of SHADOW
to keep up the total insistence
on myself as the 1 person;
1) self-same dreamer
of the dreams
I dream;
unless, of course,
there happens
no other
eyes closed, habitually
sleepwalking off the edge of
their
there
consciousness
into
a very
deep
theatre…
if to hold unique-ness
in such many-ness
so that, again, 1 in that
with everyone else, awake,
fading most dreamlike of all
what would that
then
of them
be, really be as such
living, one sight, f-o-r-e-v-e-r
without either
the first ——- or last
lights
of each day?
Myself
dreaming more than 1
them, this poorly lit scene of someone starved of even more light than that
the 1 I am really not re-hearsed
through the 1 I am
a stage set so that it should not be
zzzz zzzz zzzz zzzz
I must wake up immediately
ooooooo (silent yawn)
startled back to consciousness
for, even for
t h e l i q u i d s t a t e o f d r e a m i n g
that would be
a sleep
made up
of a darkness too far.
even to the intercourse of the nightmare
there is a limit:
_______________________
1 of many – from many, always 1 again
not, of many, not-1;
darkness but a variation in the SHADEDNESS
of the shadow
and shadows, temporarily absent light
I cannot dream myself whole,
neither enough light
nor darkness
for that
every dream, whosever and whoever, 1 more of many.
2) dream
of a self-same
dreaming
