Poetry: I Made A Nightmare by John Yohe

I made a nightmare

I made an error

I made the point

I made the vessel

I made attention

I made of the dance

I made from the music

I made all a cheese

I made the kiss

I made the beast

I made the tail

I made the four hundred blows

I made some illusions

I made a cross on top

I made face to the facts

I made the swim of the dog

I made some questions

I made the knowledge of someone

I made the fat morning

I made attention

I made my time

I made my depression

I made yes from the head

I made the love

I made my baggages

I made nothing of the whole
