#24 - dreamt the rain

24^th January

24

dreamt the rain

all kinds of things consisting

took it along in buckets

to favourites

through veils of it dawn sung

was a touching thing

dreamt the rain down

fell with it too

and steadily

to thick the air

like anything we wish

wet sponge

and someone squeezing out

dreamt stairs up

among the all boats float

slept on

sat on a seesaw with

rattling gadget of

set sail in

kept cargo

gathered dark to dream

a cloud called

felt it falling

leaves spun

in the dream

tree rose so

and all along

all along

stashed for a sunny day thought

when lizard bright come in

so simple for the rhythm

so far down in the song

would have woken to

lulled, swum

age of it

silver till mud

ear to the gauge I pressed

and heard the roaring sea
