from Mark Gunter: "[I dreamt that you wrote a poem with the word lamprey in it]"

I dreamt that you wrote a poem with the word lamprey in it.  

I don’t know if you ever wrote a poem with the word lamprey in it. 

Maybe now you will write a poem with the word lamprey in it.

“an 

eel-like aquatic jawless 

vertebrate that has a 

sucker mouth…” 

In the minutes after awakening I thought the word contained in the poem I dreamt you wrote was lambent.

The word contained in the poem I dreamt you wrote was not lambent.

Maybe now you will write a poem that contains the word lambent.

“glowing, 

gleaming, or       flickering 

with a 

soft radiance…”

Now that I am fully awake I see that perhaps lament is the word I wanted you to write in the poem I dreamt you wrote.

Now that I am awake I see that perhaps lament is the word you wrote in the poem I dreamt you wrote.

Maybe now lament is the word you will write in the poem you will write.

“a 

passionate expression of 

grief 

or sorrow…”
