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
