Kit Kelen #778 - everything in the dream is true

778

everything in the dream is true 

 

all elsewhere gone

but stumbling in and from

the scherzo is a nocturne

in another clock

someone is counting

itch, turn

as if world were

when they bury me

so stir

and the teacups

the beam from which

all elsewhere gone

fold under

fly

over and sniff

follow furrow too

till itch and down

time is standing in its lesser cot

hutch

kennel it

keep up

we with the tree all climbed

run after sunlight

be pursued

so we come to falling

smoke so many pounds a puff

early hours adolescent

when you need to go

a deathbed toddler squirms for words

they're not to follow now

crackles through static

the light of day

music's never understood

it's lovely though to be

in a wood where I paint savages

all shapes to colour

till sleep comes

and in itself all gone

wake to play

and sleep to this

everything true

in the dream
