Leitmotif

I do not let my dream sleep
My dirty recalcitrant mind
Confuses severity with sincerity
Until the heat of a tongue
Escapes with cries
To an eye open

    I was reminded of a short story by Borges (The Circular Ruins) in which a man tries to dream a person into reality. There is a captivating line I can't quote now, but it was basically that in the dream the dreamer dreamed, the dreamed one awoke.
