A sample text widget

Etiam pulvinar consectetur dolor sed malesuada. Ut convallis euismod dolor nec pretium. Nunc ut tristique massa.

Nam sodales mi vitae dolor ullamcorper et vulputate enim accumsan. Morbi orci magna, tincidunt vitae molestie nec, molestie at mi. Nulla nulla lorem, suscipit in posuere in, interdum non magna.

Dreams – William Peskett

I came across this poem in a book “The Irish Poets 1924-1974 edited by David Marcus and thought I would love to share it with you.

Dreams

In truth I cannot reach you,

I’m caged within my nerves

and there I pace tight circuits

Finding exit only

when my systems sleep.

Inside, I fumble with keys

and combinations which betray

no function from within.

I think that I must know my dreams

to see myself perform.

And if we could play them back

like tapes- we’d meet in limbo,

we’d integrate, know.

In apprehensive paradise

we’d fear we weren’t ourselves.
