UNWOUND I.

Writer's picture: Spike WoodsSpike Woods

Dream slowly in the dark;

Watchers see the quickening thought

And smile.


For them the brain is glass;

They see as clearly as the owl

The fine workings of a fast dream.


One image at a time,

A train,

A lorry pounding up a hill

Alive.


And even in the darkness, stop and think

Of all the old things

Like

A scythe and mower moving in the gold field,

Like

The hourhand of a clock,

Unnoticed.
