dreaming eyes of driftwood

Dream within a dream-a mermaid's dreaming eyes of driftwood. A beachcomber hoists anchor to release the soul of a whale dying. Clouds scroll across the horizon the moon stores stories from it's evening haul. a dolphin wearing an eye-patch disturbs a bottled ship-a stowaway wakes, sees a whale shifting astrally, lighting up an empty mist cloaked lighthouse. Driftwood passes by whaling ships,death places kisses on a sleeping mermaids lips leaves bottled fire slyly beneath, he makes a melody on glass-she wakes, reaps- issuing incantations lovelier, killing flames. Death slumbers without music to spare
