Dream State

In the dream state
There is a cloud
constricting my mind, like a subtle snake
Pulsing pressure
Closing the fatalistic embrace more and more with each beat of that noble muscle
Thump thump … thump thump … thump thump
My heart is in my finger tips
Sending out Morse code against every surface that I reach out to
What is it saying?
Here beats a heart desperate for
Love?
                Affection?
                    Validation?
I create my own dignity
I tell my heart what message to impart
Thump thump … thump thump … thump thump
