When I Sleep MAG
February 9, 2010
And when I sleep, I dream of spinning
because that's all my head ever does
of swinging on swingsets and carousel horses
and of fences and dried grass that looks of
gold and autumn
of midnight escapades down the bayou, the
night a mask of day
of lying on trampolines
of fire furnaces
and of you in the mornings
and the words you don't have to say

Every line, read individually, paints a picture in my head. I love when a poet can do that :D This is well-written and is very interesting
