This poem was inspired by the opening paragraph of Roald Dahls BFG


Couldn't sleep

Samurai of the night

Struck his silver blade

Sharp across my eyes

Blinding.

Howling Silence

Smothered word

Smothered love

Smothered existence

Such light

Such silence

Had only been known

By those who could never tell

Couldn't sleep
