I dress as a woman and scream with delight,
We wake up at lunch time and find were still tight.

“When youre alone in the middle of the night and you wake in a sweat and a hell of a fright
When youre alone in the middle of the bed and you wake like someone hit you in the head
Youve had a cream of a nightmare dream and youve got the hoo-has coming to you.”
—T.S. (Thomas Stearns)

Flickers among the flat pink roses. I wake to listen:
A far sea moves in my ear.”
