deeper than hands can touch
or eyes can see
subtle, hairlike tendrils
probe and cling
the neural circuits
twixt sand and sea
as endorphin transmitters clasp
barnacles and marine debris
moving though layers of
neurological waste
tectonic plates of
consciousness rumble:
battered by sleeping memories
the landmasses in my brain
shove to and fro violently
all in the course of a night
all in the course of one dream
each day how many strange realities
are seen?
