Notes About The Poem

Listen to poem:

It Was How He Said It

sweet dreams
that’s what he said
as if an invitation

sweet dreams
as if he’d decided to go out
on the sea to watch a sunset

sweet dreams
as if holding out his hand
for a slow dance cheek to cheek 

sweet dreams he said
as if to cradle her in his arms 
the whole night through
