Dream Collage
August 15, 2021
Rising to space
Rising to planets unknown—
Rising to heat lightning and grace
Rising like a queen bee to her honeyed throne
It is a deep and sticky summer night
My heart is burning violets
Clear and bright
I want to be near someone
I want to play a keyboard
In a room of pink balloons and crystal snow
I want the fireflies to open my window
Making for you
A glorious show.
Like a tired dolphin
I am slipping under
My flowered bedspread
Into a summer of wonder.
