thick dreams of travel
thick dreams of travel
wake you late
might as well get up
you hear words and music
scribing themselves somewhere
in the tan papyrus
of the back of the mind
where dreams scroll
and vast beasts lurk
lines and curlicues of
thrust and melody
get it down before
the tornado of everyday
morning visits robs
you of what you can recall

Nice piece. I wonder if an 'in' after 'lurk' might not improve the flow.

Hmm. Good thought. It would change the meaning too much, though. I wanted the full stop there. If you see the pattern, the odd numbered stanzas all end on a hard verb, full stop. That was part of the structural pattern here.
Just curious. What program did you use for that digital painting. It's very nice, by the way.
It's done on the iPhone and iPad. The photo was made on iPhone using a camera app called 645 PRO. The photo was edited and painted on iPad using an art app called Moku Hanga HD.
