Sleep Talking
3 a.m. treading water, bed sheets crest and fall. The repetitious threnody of hoot owls nests in one sleepless ear, the other is buried in duck feathers. It’s a terrible play - this world, but not a bad musical if you can whistle. I forget where I live. it could be under a stone, it could be the stone itself, now I am wondering what lives under me. This is...

Sleep-Talking In Fear
When he's chalking trouble deep, He'll be talking in his sleep, If you peep, then you will find The fear that creeps in his mind; Grunting and groaning in pain, You'll hear him moaning again, Those mutterings won't be clear, His stutterings seem severe; He pours out his dreadful dreams, A sudden shout, as he screams, That cry of shock wakes him up, His...

The Sleep Talking Dilemma
Dilemmas that sleep talkers must face, Their subconscious thoughts are mumbled aloud. Dreams with reality can interface. Not anyone with this problem is proud. Talking in one’s sleep could be worrisome. One never knows what dreams might generate. Sleep talk creates a cuddle-some chasm. Especially if a spouse interrogates! Who knows what pain abates when words berate. Some spouses listening in might just pout. One...

Sleep Talking
In a shadow box, by the bed another diorama took shape, form, function while she slept. The whole house quiet with the ever tick tock. Paper snow flakes in the process of falling to a cardboard lake, frozen fast in brown fuzz and blue paint Purple velvet ribbons in sweet white glue an aurora borealis gone still and two silver sequins befitting two moons blown in...
