5:30am walk through semi-conscious city streets. The air hangs heavy with the dreams of those still comfortably tucked in bed. The movement of the few up and present are dulled, unhurried, almost as if in respect for the slumbering, unencumbered souls lying tranquilly in the high-rises above. I step off the curb, begin to cross the empty street. Eyes grazing a sky that wrestles between the dark...

Dreamt of night skies, cosmic light shows where stars the color of Christmas tree lights moved about the darkness like jellyfish. And the clouds, the clouds flashed with blinking lights as though someone were inside them flicking a switch. A message? I am here, perhaps? Inside a dome like glass sphere, something akin to a snow globe, surrounded by faceless beings. Tried talking to them, tried to...

Tumble above, below and all around me. I want to feel the wind you create as you contort your form to encircle me. I shall remain perfectly still, infinitely quiet while standing suspended in the sphere of your presence. My every sense, brought to life by your movement, will reach for you in the exquisite hope of taking you in, of becoming a part of you and you a part of me. Color my world with...

A dark vast room lit only by pulsating colored lights set to operate on intricate timers. Loud, dangerously loud music...floating, twisting its way through that darkness. So loud that every thought, every desire, every remnant of memory and self is swallowed up by it. Smoke fills the air along with the scent of sweat and freedom. This is where you’ll find me. Divinely lost, forgotten by the...

I dreamt of being inhabited again. Of being him. Roy. Perhaps it was more memory than dream or perhaps a desperate desire waiting to be fulfilled by his one and only link to this fleshly world: me, his unwitting host. The dream picked up where the last one ended. His blonde siren not beside me, planting kisses on my palm as she melted against me, but instead lying beneath me. Her long hair fanned...

I dream with my eyes open. Images flash before them like those on a cinema screen. Some whizz by so quickly that they are nothing but a haze of color while others, others move with devastating slowness. A life sized rabbit with a metallic face, the acrid smell of smoke from a blazing fire, an unexpected kiss in front of the school steps, manicured lawns, carefully crafted smiles, eyes that speak...

Roy slipped into my skin again. In a dream that continues to cling to me. I remember not the logistics of it; time, place, circumstance for those things are of no consequence in dreams such as this one.I became aware that I was not myself when I gazed down at my hand. It was the hand of another. Long fingers with knuckles too pronounced to be female, wiry black hairs reaching out from thick...

A complete stranger made me aware of your presence today. A fissure created by some distant and forgotten trauma allowed you to slip in and inoculate yourself into my core; this is how she explained it. With her third eye, squinting with purpose just beneath the surface of her smooth forehead, she stared at me and called you out. You responded by embracing me tighter, causing the prickly feel of...
