I put the words <br />to bed <br /> <br />tuck ‘em up <br />in a comfy notepad <br /> <br />as they dream <br />their way into being <br /> <br />talking in tongues <br /> <br />shyly chatting up equally shy syllables <br /> <br />their thoughts <br />fragile things <br /> <br />a butterfly’s <br />wing. <br /> <br />In the morning <br />I peel away the patina <br /> <br />of their thin veiled <br />dreams <br /> <br />a palimpsest of things <br /> <br />listen to what <br />the words have to say <br /> <br />write it <br />all down in a neat <br /> <br />calligraphic hand <br /> <br />& pretend <br />I wrote it myself.<br /><br />Doral Deepset<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/dream-poem-3/
