Dream

In and out again,

There is silent music -

        A tapestry of

        Stirring shadows.

{Concealed by rain,

The stars begin

        To burn through

        The sheets of clouds.}

Footsteps on snow,

The curving shore,

        A garden thrives

        On the fragments

Of my mind - all beautiful,

Bountiful, and free.

        {Divided by blossoms

        And bones, I follow

My elusive dreams, stealing

Their breath & balance.}

        The waxy night air whirls

        In my hunted footsteps,

And shapes skittle forward,

Star black and luminous.

        At the threshold of ending,

        At the title of a final hand,

Stolen arrows snake

Through the grass,

        Broken with a symmetric

        Heart & shattered by me.
