[icecreamemperor]

I dreamt I was reading a poem composed of golden latches. Each line had an identical form -- beginning with 'a (four letter verb)', then continuing to a statement about a Capitalised Noun -- and when I read the mid-point of each line the latch would unlock. As I read a seam opened up through the middle of the poem. When I got to the last line the words had all disappeared, and only the latch remained.

I was quite confident that it was some sort of funeral oration, and I knew the author's name -- in the dream, I was going to write her a letter asking for the last line of the poem.
