Cyber Dormouse by Oliver Hanney

DREAMING LOUDER THAN WAKING

“Twinkle, twinkle, little bat…” I sit… in the pot…

Steam curls…Metal hums… My eyes… so heavy…

Half-asleep…Half-awake…

Always… somewhere… in between…

Stories tumble…

Three sisters… in a well…drawing treacle…

Or was it dreams…?

I forget…I remember…I forget… again…

Don’t wake me… Or do…

It makes no difference…

Dreams speak truer… than daylight…

Nonsense lasts longer… than sense…

The tea is warm…The gears keep turning…

And I drift…and drift…and drift…

“Twinkle… twinkle… little bat…”

Don’t wake me… Or do…

It makes no difference…
