Dreaming
October 1st, 2011 § 4 Comments
Last night, after watching Drive, I had an endless nightmare. I woke myself up in fear, and falling asleep again, would be back in the same terror, the same dream. Every hour, until sunrise. Not a poetic inspiration I care to repeat, but, oh well. Whatever it takes.
If nightmares came true, I would not be here with you.
I would be naked in hallways or running from demons
and breathless with fear.
If nightmares came true, he would be here.
Forever my partner, clenching his teeth and sipping my breath,
we would stand frozen and gaze at our deaths.
If nightmares came true, my car would careen.
My home float to sea to follow tsunami,
My life and my dreams forever adrift.
If nightmares came true.

I hope that they don’t come true :)
From your lips to G-d’s ears, as we say.
What a start to October. You are in the spirit of things, aren’t you? I watched the trailer you linked. Was it the kind of movie that haunts you with thoughts long after it’s over? If so, I can imagine it affecting your dreams.
I loved the poem!
Thanks. It was a powerful film, unsettling. I recommend watching it, if only once.
