My Best Poems

are never written down

but dictated to me 

on the edge of sleep

by Hermes 


brief snatches in a 

hypnopompic state

brilliant interludes

woven together with

abstract deliberation

each word perfect like

light filtered through

drops of dew on a spiderweb


i should get up

i should write 

them down but 

instead i wander away

into the land of Nod 

the poems disassembled 

their components tinder 

for fictional flames


i guarantee you

they are better

than this one
