Rewriting Dreams



It has been like Scheherazade entered this tunnel 
we have lived in - relaxing fables of magnificence 
into its intricately created tho’ unstable ambience 

playing to the theatre in an ageless way; we’re all 
characters she created, and then staged within a 
monologue of captured roles, earning accolades 

where ironies of categorically absolute power fell 
prey to her innocence; whether there is reason to 
be convicted, or convinced we’re now powerless 

with no say in who makes judgement - digressed 
beyond th’ favour of countenances where fame’s 
never going t’ be eloquently blessed, except in a 

being who doesn’t exist, unless th’ words persist 
beyond this scene and on into th’ next act where 
dreams rewrite themselves about Scheherazade
