Astral Projection

a poem by Joshua Brown

 

It was a dream
And I felt myself drift
To the western winds
Blown softly

And a hand
Touched my shoulder
And I turned about
To see her

With my strength
I pressed against the wind
And leapt back to her
Why did I drift

Hard it beat
The war drums razed
The wind blew away
The sounds

But it cast
Her hand back from
It's helpful embrace
A duality

Someone
Grasped my throat
From behind violent
Silently

And they wept
Crying as they choked
My own dream away
Into nightmare
