The Dream I Had

Evolving from waking to sleep
I become
A pirate on the coasts of Barbary
Becoming liquid and descending to the floor
Watching the parade of ghosts walking
The Walls of Mars tumbling down
I am slain for misleading the sheep
Shattering fear to the very core
Nude and shown to the crowd mocking
Flying above the burnt town, now gone
Changing my state like mercury
Coming undone
Metamorphosis happens as I dream

“Yes: I am a dreamer. For a dreamer is one
who can only find his way by moonlight,
and his punishment is that he sees the dawn
before the rest of the world.” Oscar Wilde
