sometimes dreams come in off the
street rudely
theyre pungent unkempttheyll take
up anything youve left vacant or unaccounted for never mind that you had plans for them or didnt
expect anyone or anything to challenge you
thats your mistake
dreams move in righteously and they
demand your concession obviously you
have plenty of space its no matter to
them that you carved it out for yourself
why would
they or should they heed you
theyve gotten this far
they gloat
you have to realise that only
violence will move them
their
violence is extraterrestrial
it is from
a realm a province you have no experience with and you will lose a myriad of
painful battles before you can take back ground
whoever is most formidable will prevail
the battles are psychic horrific gruesome
your dreams attempt to overwhelm you they seek devises that make you squeamish then
too embittered raw and consumedtoo embattled to recognise what hangs in the
balance
his dreams devastated the people
and places of his youth those fierce
memories and touchstones they were flayed horribly tortured murdered they were dismembered a piece at a time all the while begging the ruthless
things to stop they were quilled with
blasted glass slivers and shards they
were set on fire and like burning paper ash or leaves they screamed as they waft into the air their fat smoking black they were penetratedpunched full of
holes sighed like bone flutes
then it was stopped
he was awakened
he fell back to sleep
and it began again in a different
place the people tortured again slivered
bludgeoned joints pulled apart hooked hung boiled drowned in shallow puddles
thickened with coagulated blood feces and humours
then it was stopped
he was awakened
but before he fell back to sleep he
found weapons and took them in with him
he couldnt save them all
but the ones he did save he
armedthen
stopped
awakened
falling back to sleep
he returned with bulging sacks of
brutal armament
the tide was turning
they didnt stop until the dreams
concededuntil they fled
these dreams didnt return didnt
seek revenge
dreams have memories to corrupt too
