page

for the dreambook, wise surprise

 

 

page

is a blank mist into which

             we peer

 

have you noticed

sheep’s heads, cloud

more of the same?

 

how all of these are words

 

.

 

 

in the dream

books, pages, lines of utterance

words themselves

 

each float, random, miraculous

 

through the air

like motes in the beam

 

.

 

 

full of bright gems

comets, asteroids

glittery junk

                                                                                  

our very brink

 

 

in the treasure box of memory

 

some stairs roped off

one room forbidden

 

.

 

 

what’s in a word?

 

it’s where we’ve all lived

 

it’s time

a means of aspiration

 

 

.

 

stone is a world

takes a poem to knock

 

from just these few shapes

                       we make

what never was before

 

.

 

 

all this that

there’s a list of lists

and we’re crossing tings done

 

we’re always putting things off

 

the only thing you have to do is die

no need to hurry things along
