Open the Dark Door
I do not dream when those creatures
who inhabit the dream world come out.
Instead I stay here inside the ordinary day
until the night is defeated and the dream beasts
slope off to lurk in the dark shadowed forests
to wait for the night to come and cover them
so they can crawl out into your empty dreams
and take them in their claws, ready to bite
With dripping fangs until you are consumed
by the eternal darkness you can never escape
and you too become one of those beasts
that crouches there on the sleeping chest
waiting for the dreams to open the dark door
and show you a way in.
