A friend once told me
to write down my dreams
for they are a window into
the deepest corners of the psyche.
Nevermind that much of the time
I cannot begin to remember
my dreams once awake,
but those corners were dark
for a reason, and shedding
light into them will only
cause the creatures who live there
to scurry about and seek shelter
in other hidden corners.
And anyway, it is best
to just let sleeping dreams lie.
