“reverie” from my recent poetry pamphlet “Songs from Last Imaginations”.
The poem describes the gentle descent into unconsciousness and forms the third movement of a suite of poems.

TRULY BRILLIANT evening at the Black Bough open mic. Amazing talent. Almost everyone was there to roadtest their poems before their pamphlet/ book launches - some there for the buzz and the sharing. Humbling to host!!! Poets from Spain, Australia, Ireland, US, England and Wales.
