By James Gonda.
Dreams oppressed me:
A square, empty room
A single bed in the corner
Me on it
It is getting dark.
The ceiling opens
A winged being descends
Filling the room with movement and clouds
A rustle of trailing wings
An angel!
I cannot open my eyes,
It’s too light, too bright.
After rummaging about
He rises and passes through the opening
Taking the light and blue air
It is dark once again.
I wake up.
From Marc Chagall’s Autobiography “My Life” and the inspiration for his painting The Apparition (Self-Portrait with a Muse).
The deletions work well!
Very nice!
