A Dream
-I dreamt of happiness in a smile a ring a life in the sweeping away of the dust that settles on eyelids the calming of the nightmare the pre-trembling of a house that falls the reification of breath as it becomes and animates the self in surrendering the solitary word leaving open the wounds of possibility surrendering the words of solitary imagination’s dreams and footfalls surrendering the mystical words of forgoten prayers and incantations
