A Little Story
Something showing up now
Just listen
There’s something about it
These times
I can feel it
Thinking
On the constant
A dream – what was written
As the words form around it
The half-sleeping place
The between-dreaming state
In trying to switch
Off
The message
Comes On
Clearly
Or clearer
Trying
The times
That we live in
Isolation dreaming
The bizarre
The surreal
The pitch black
False silence
‘I know you’re awake’
Sub-consciously
Calling
Dream-state
Dreaming
Half-waking
Still dreaming
Writing and recording
The reason we are here
In these times
Don’t you feel it
The message
Becomes clear
Each day
There’s the humming
Reminding
To speak out-of-turn
Each day you can feel it
The murmur
There is something
Uncomfortable with saying
The words feel frustrated
On the tip
Of the tongue
And the mind
Isolation dreaming
The words they are playing
With you
They are telling
Listen to the words
Gesturing
Attempting
The hesitation
Shallow breathing
Isolation living
Stand-still
Stock-still
And listen
In the throat
There is something
There
Here you go
Isolation meaning
Isolation dreaming
Get up stop derailing
Do you realise
It’s fleeting
But still that feeling
Isolation dreaming
Wake up
Now
Just listen
