I WANT TO SLEEP WITH YOU


I want to sleep with you
share those dreams
that make your limbs jerk uncontrollably
flickering fear and excitement
beneath your rapid eyelids
like a hand-cranked projector
loaded with all those vivid film scenes
that didn't make it through the censor.
I want my name up in the credits for them
as Script Writer, Director, Producer
and male lead.
I want to act my socks off
to inflame your imagination
like nitro-cellulose on fire
to watch the burning hole
grow on the mindscreen of our separation
until it fills your soul.
