DREAM
Close to thedoor in
my dream the
small signs
I saw a brown
sign with wisdom
on it
I saw a brown
one leaning
with wisdom
on it
fringe of a mirror
my mother
leaning over a pond
cupping water
leaning against
the moulding
cardboard or
wood which materials do you
does your wisdom prefer
which a-
partment in a summer
with someone
I felt brave to
have touched
her love the screen
door and the dogs
and the cats always
getting out. That
was the fear
two signs
fading but recalling
they had faded like words
fade in stone because
of the rain and the days
and waking and the dream
is leaving with every
step leaning over the meat
because I do not want
you to have died in vain
kissing the turkey and
the neck of my dog
all animals am I.
all dreams, all stone
all message am I.
