Convoluted Dream
serpentine dreams
do not have snakes
only a few reptiles
archaic and protoplasmic
In dreams
creature depictions are not zoological
even when anfractious
as kin and lovers can be
Dreams of lives
lived and transmogrified
at dawn or murky dusk
are mute and silent
So said the ancestor
in a dream
of someone else
loudly
as I recall
and wish
it were my own dream
bereft of monsters and ghosts
not subject
to plunder
by greedy
venomous
coils of energy
abrupt
and fearsome
though spineless
