Crushing dreams

Posted bya.d.matthiasPosted inpoem, poetry, prose, prose-poetry 

Baby-rattle breathing 
disturbs my darkened slumber 
Like frozen fingers probing deeply 
to awake a muffled mumble 

Dreams of neck and vine entwined 
choke the wail of Stentor 
But a gasp of dawn has come again 
to crush oneiric candor
