764 : 5/13/00 : Drowning the Dream

The dream is of drowning, the dream
is of dawning and under the
water with dragonflies
spawning the dream is
constriction a visceral
fiction I can’t breathe
I can’t see the water is dark
here the dream is of facing
some hideous other
that looks like a man
but that is no man’s brother
the eyes are the clue to
the riddle of how spinning
like golden disks holy
like sacred cow then
I’m back in the water
Stare through a black
tunnel as darkness pours
into my ear through a funnel
and just like the dream that
I have every night I scream out my
last breath and get ready to fight
