" under it's heavy boots? " oops. typo. ;) line 2: " it" refers to a " dream" ? ? bri :)

That's a very precise description of obsession in the last line - it makes the obsession animate - and makes you, your conscious self, an accomplice. It's no wonder you could invent so many metaphors for it: it has been hanging around way too long to be just the elephant in the living room. And you've been furiously inventing new metaphors like turning pages of a book, but every time you do so, your inner life gets more cluttered with things that distract it from sweetness and light, and you plunge deeper into your crowded psyche. You need some hero to clear out everything weighing you down. An epic poem - an epic hero. A Sundiata to the rescue! Invoke him.
