a slither 8/9 July 09

already this fades

I wake early

the full moon still peers between the clouds

blessing the coming day

I had half a daydream half a dream

a thin whisp

but what was it...

with someone

(damn, who was it...

this wasn't some vague indistinct dream figure

this was a definite person...)

driving around the hillside roads

of Wellington

we stop

they? he gets out

or was it me

we stop

beside a wooden walkway

steps

that lead up the hillside

the steep slope

to a good

five feet?

off the ground

where a landing stage

juts out from the hillside

landing stage?...

more a staircase landing

a wooden

landing

but it is battered

ramshackle

broken

possibly there used to be steps down to the road

but have been knocked away

or possibly they have been 'washed' away

and the wooden supports have corroded.

I get out from the car

and onto the landing

without

touching the ground

I AWAKE.

was I really asleep?

I need more sleep

I look tired all the time at the moment.
