I HAD A DREAM OF A HOUSE AT NIGHT

A film by Charlie Galea McClure, 2022.

Lurking
Looking
Leaking from
Deep within the walls
Deep
Deep
Someone sitting on a chair
With a face
That rips apart
And forms anew
Made conflicted
It belongs to no one
Searching
Seeking
Seeping through
There’s something outside
I can hear it
It got inside my house
It got inside my head
A house with a room inside
A room with a head inside
A head with a mind
A brain
A soul
Inside
Peering from behind
Moving inward
Becoming something else
A Dream Soul wanders
To faraway places
A Dream Soul enters
The Realm of Night
A Dream Soul beckons
To what exists beyond
Revel in the shape of darkness
Where shadows emerge and phantoms lurk
In the camouflage of an unnatural night
