Waking from a dream,
Lingering for a few moments
Then slipping quietly into space.
Blood red mountain,
Pearly grass.
Greenish dawn
And scarlet sea.
Temptation poised elegantly,
Voluptuous and venomous.
Transparent, encased in a buoyant bubble.
Pinched skin, red from the sting.
Whether or not this is real, I know not.
I follow the stars,
Into inky oblivion.
Voices, patterns,
People like manikins.
Movie figures,
Chasing another desperately.
Without passion, drive, or desire,
They are going through the motions.
There is nothing in their way,
No obstacle to overcome.
