The Sandman's Visit read by Vicki

"The Sandman's Visit" by David Hart

Asleep now and now the
Sandman with his night dreams
Arrives
His sheer smoky subtle sleep is near

Now tip-toeing in the realm of Morpheus
Vibrating vivacious visions anon appear

Incredulous colorless dream
A dream of
paradoxically and passionately
Pursuing

And then, being persistently prudently
Pursued in a mesmerizing melodious
Mood.

Some faint feisty foggy fantastic vision
of feeling luxuriously lost--
Chicanery, perhaps.

Dusty dense delirious delighting
And, misty musky marauding meandering
Mellifluous murky sight yields to
Tall tempestuous towering
High happy honey combed apartment
Buildings

There. Quizzical quintessential
Quirky quagmires of chuckleheaded
cheeky choices---

There are friends
of the past who never
really wanted to last--

From boisterous building to
Behemoth building--
Lackadaisically looking,
serenely searching,
Playfully pursuing
And,
Sharp scintillating schmoozing

Until light languished lurid lids
Lift----
To a new day.
