when i cannot sleep
      i untie unravel each bow undo
                       each dream from the ardour
                                       of the suicide when she (i) (no -- we, it was us  just us  .)

                                                      we smashed the glass of the window

with a milky laugh, bordering on howl              (hush sleepy sister, won't you?)
your russet jaw chatters too much.

                               and i had hidden her tangerine-dream limbs in the arbours (i had to)               and stored them in green bruised-blue alcoves that only i can       she sees ---- bloody purple plums my baby tooth sinks through wit...

a strange, strange meaningful dream i had a few nights ago in fitful sleep. i am fascinated to investigate freud and jung on this subject of dream interpretation. particularly jung's anima and animus.
