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
