The Sleep of an Artist

Thomas W Case



To sleep the sleep of
an artist is
the best sleep ever.
All the foes lie vanquished,
and I paint words with
their blood.
All the letters spent on
the paper in
ejaculatory fashion,
like sperm to the egg.
There is no fodder from
dreams to be marshaled,
just the birth of my
creation,
when I
awake.

    Fascinating theme, Thomas. I often get the best/craziest ideas while I'm asleep.
