Dream Pollen 3

a strong wind
of uncontrol’d thought
blows like a cue ball
into families of rem

scattering kin to and fro

changing dance partners
the real with the unreal

most of which will be forgotten

others for safekeeping
till the next runaway gale

Privy Lamp Post

where late evenings

awaken

the shadows

reflections

and whispering silence

of her night life

Kandy

This is an oil painting I gifted to my neighbor, Robert.

His small precious dog is old and slow and
often has to be carried halfway through her walk—
which is just fine with her. 

Zen of the Deep

my flesh
asleep
in th’ unfeeling cold

the soul of my thoughts
arous’d
with compassion

the sodden’d darkness
alive
with profound understanding

I am enlighten’d

Breach

whimsical glimpse
in my sleep
only shadows
of my thoughts

the tongue
of my mind
numb
speechless

knowing her name
knowing the dream of her
cannot hear me

until
the snake
of untimely darkness
becomes a comfort
I’ll never remember

recall vortex

                                           for a moment
                                           I might recognize
                                          a bouquet of reality
                                          when eons of Yesterdays
                                          flourish’d

                                         till I awake
                                         to a prolong’d sleep
                                         submerg’d
                                         in the Now
                                         of mystifying dreams

                                         and no longer
                                         Myself
