' ' ' ' Made Only In Dreams(For Lyn)

'Thumpity thump! ' goes the after midnight ceiling. 'Uh uh...our Briar Rabbit is on the go again! '| 'Oh...you go! Put her back to bed then! ' snaps an exasperated Mum. 'And don't be taken in by none of her nonsense! ' I grin. 'Who me? ' 'Yeah...you! ' Begin to climb the stair like a scary monster so she can't help but know I'm coming...to get her! Know I will discover her hiding under in or on the wardrobe giggling invisibly ('cos she's got her eyes closed) . But no quiet now as snow she stares spookily into space moonlight staining her face. An attic window cutting up the night sky into a child's toy of stars & hows & whys. A universe of unanswerable questions. 'What are you..? ' (I dare to ask her) '...staring at! ' The silence fractures but...holds. 'I'm looking at the silence filling up the room after I've gone...bang! ' 'I see..! ' I say suddenly seeing what she's seeing. 'Bed now... ...my little Miss! ' I soothe down her quiff with a licked fingertip. 'Shhh..! ' she hisses. 'The moon is asleep in my bed! |' And I look &...it is! We both listen to the moonlight dreaming it's head upon her pillow. Hours after we are discovered by a sleepy Mummy who smiling lets us be. She curled up into me I curled around her coiled on the carpet she clutching my hair sucking my thumb. The guilty moon having mde its escape attempting shamefacedly to climb back into the sky having fallen & got entangled in a skeletony tree. Tilly & me melted together into this one human creature made only of dreams.
