Did I Dream, You Dreamed About Me?

January 28, 2007

 

 

Did I Dream, You Dreamed About Me?

(from "Song to the Siren")

A dream defines me, defines you for me:

A ship,
with a picture frame sail
folding in the wind.
On the sail a portrait of you,
stenciled in light.
I sit on the bow
back turned away from  you
    (folding in the wind)
and fall back into your portrait
(sinking in,
     bellows around me,
        folding me in)
as you drive the bow
straight into starlight:
empty edge of my world.

How could I trust
such a long lost dream
should you ever come true?
But if I never wake
the dream never fades
so I dream you here inside me,
…inside my sleep.
