Dwight Peters
Ocean’s Tide
In his bed, in the moments before he falls asleep, layered within four blankets wrapped around him, his head and pillow slowly become one soft thing. He looks up at the tops of the blankets: the one against his skin pulled closest to his face—and, from there, the rest of them each slightly further away, all move together in a distant cascade.
He is startled as a wave falls over his head, being carried away by the ocean.
Dwight Peters has written a book of free-form pieces, 36 Musical Colors, and a book of just over one-hundred very very short stories, Secret Stories. He lives in San Francisco. http://dwightpeterspageofwritings.wordpress.com/
