Rhythm 'n' Rhyme Showcase

The Night Weaver

When in sleep,
Look out upon the night gallery
At a portrait of pale yellow porousness
Hung, door-knobbed above the earth

When in sleep,
Awake in sleep in deaf fields
Synapses fed are thread
From our stair climbed beds

When in sleep,
The weaver, the night weaver
Hides behind the porous moon
And threads our dreams

Millions of silent swirling dreams
Woven through the funnel loom
And somewhere on my own island
I see the shadows of a red rose
Rise between the folds and swoon.

By Neil Joseph Burns
