from a dream

can't   write  from  a  dream  from  a  realm  so  real

can't  drive  this  truck      too  high

her  head  reaches  the sky  she  strokes  the  cow

her  skin  so  soft  so warm     she  meets  her  eye


and  he  offers  her  chocolates  she  will keep for  later 

with  milk  and  honey  maybe   and dates  of  sweet surrender   

see  her  shadow    sliding  over  hedges  across meadows

and crows  on  a  wall  breaking  no  jaw


in  between  wake  and  sleep

what  seeps  what  slips  into  dream  or  real

can't  find  the  beginning    must  wait 

for  the  stranger  at  the  gates

bare  innocent  intent  at  mountain  top

bearing  such  love  as  scratches  streams

and  brings  back  the vanishing  scent

of  pictureless  scenes


what  thinks  and sinks  into  death  or dream

dishevelled  air  and  words  as  tenuous

as  spider's  gleams
