NEW YORK DREAM:
I dreamed a famous singer, living in New York, read
my words out loud like a blessing. Anointing the air
with familiar tone, the room relaxed around him.
I started to unwind, feel good, as he welcomed me
with benevolent smiles and hand to indicate a chair
beside him. Discerned an strange sensation in my chest
I realised I’d held my breath for years and now was
breathing.
