please listen, bismarck

i need to speak

i dreamed of a red, red car that toppled and turned and rolled and toppled



from a distance it seemed so small



it rolled and rolled over hills and dales

the sun kept shining     at last it came to rest

in the hospital corridor     quite still

next to the pulpit     i smelled the essence

of my grandmother there

her cool dim house with smells of fabrics of sun

and the snipclicksnipclick of cutting smoothly

on the oval table     a hollow pleasant sound

of wood chimes and scissors



wood chimes







but i stray -



the coffin red right at the foot of the pulpit contained my torso

and my hair drawn on my head in brown wax crayon

and the coffin     the coffin lined in white enamel is so smooth

it looks like a brand new ball

its lid to be lifted like that of a cooking pot -



what does this mean, bismarck?

how could a car become a pot     even in a dream?
