False Awakening
A Moment of Silence Acrostic
Somnambulist, swanning through silk silence
Invisible is your map of the night
Listen to sleep’s pure, phantom poetry
Egress from the mundane, it promises
Never wake the sleepwalker, folklore says;
Could we be afraid of what sleep would say?
Embarrassment is waking within dream
