wheeling dreams—
nocturnal sorts—swishing in
a black cup of sky
wheeling dreams—
nocturnal sorts—swishing in
a black cup of sky
all bound up
into a ball, pulling string
wound around itself
now all those ghosts
return strewn with colored lights
to hide their gray
I think—perhaps—
“falling sleep” undersells
oblivion
pale eye—
its white mirror still so
hot and sharp
back from trouble—
skin nearly translucent,
pale as the moon
my sister leapt
like words, her form transformed
into love
accidentally
my dream switched lanes—and I
was a clam
trying to picture
grain—indiscriminate—
waving in winds
only
calm tones identifying
scenes moving
