Anna Couani #55

like remembering dreams

catching on a piece

and tugging

till you remember

then one after another

each dream pulling

on the next one

overlapping

so it can be

with poems

I wouldn’t mind

being able to do

automatic writing

how is that done

where unlikely images

follow

like the chicken coop

will follow

an image of the university belfry

or the sound of it

the different types of sounds

so utterly different but

both clamorous

meaning the belfry

that has real bells

and real bellringers

the reader will search

for connections

we often walk through the uni

from our house close by

and have heard the belfry

listening amazed

it’s conceivable

that we heard the songs of birds

at the same time

because the corellas

are circling
at this time of year
