The thief is an importunate intruder
who so baffles with his omnipresence
that you cannot know he’s there –
except, perhaps, as some slight
stultifying quality of air – which in a dream
becomes a slowly clotting cream to which
you find yourself adhering inextricably –
until you’re partly wall: until you are a tall
bland simulacrum of a soul: a bas-relief:
thick cream-concrete – chest, thighs, face
a fleeting semblance of dimensionality:
shoulders, butt and heels as flat as rock.
The thief won’t cease until he has effected
an entire lack. Ah, but: readiness is all: relax.
Dream of carving out the creature,
front and back, pick and axe: free him into
an autonomy. Take out everything
that was within. Wake up and begin.
