"Descent Into A Dream"

O sleep! How sweet thy lips' first caress!
O slumber! How warm thy embrace!
Eyelids flutter and finally lower
The veil is raised and I see

I see

Water races away down hill

down rocks and trees
down mountain

Butterfly pirate pursues

threatens
taunts
chases
tears

Brilliant shadows converse

go or stay
left or right
jump or fight

Standing on the verge of indecision

Time to choose
Time to

BEEP BEEP BEEP
BEEP BEEP BEEP

Restless rest arrested
Shall I?
I choose

five more minutes
