Hypnagogic
Sean
Goulding
Both
the Sun and
the moon were nigh,
Dancing
in the
light of each other,
An
innate haze of
expected momentum,
Dropped
from
Juggler’s hands,
But
you couldn’t
look at the Sun-
It
made you grin,
and sneeze, and keep your head down,
To
gaze upon your
shadow,
Your
mimic and
clown.
