The Dreaming Medium

Impulse.

Magnified in cornered solitude.

Hypochondriac--heart-beats doubling to the throat.

Ill-treated dash. Mistreated flutter.

 

Restless Foot Syndrome--red second-hand trembling.

Overdosed on dreams and images,

what's inside the half-open door?

 

Bachelard, explain,

why does this opening loom

within this vast white mislocation

or does it close amidst nothing?

 

On what foot do I balance?

Capricious nature. Perpendicular alignment.

Haunt me on another daynight.

 

Beat. Beat. Beating.

 

Beat. Beat.

 

Beating.

I'm thankful for and spoiled by keyboards. Otherwise, I don't think I would write much. My hand cramps.
