What if we could reach into our heads
and pull our dreams out by the fistful?

There'd be colors we've never seen before,
loose fibers of memory, people we know.

I have heard that every person that populates your dream
has been one you've seen before.

So pick the one you once loved, the co-worker,
the face you saw on the sidewalk

from your bones, and mold them into stone,
let the silk of dream ring 'round your neck,

the colors above the dust, the lost meaning
swimming on your skin, the shadows trailing

like a cape--
take all the brain-velvet

that has slipped across your fingers
and inhale its metal smell.

If you are lucky enough to see in the sun
what dances behind your paper lids in dark,

do not, for the life of you,
let it go.
I wrote this one when I was halfway through a nap. xD
