THE MEANING OF A DREAM

The house is me.
The pool is me.
The open garage is me.
I am the driveway.
My neighbours watch.
Their house taller.
Their minds smaller.
The child in me finds fleeting memories.
My roller skates unsteady along the brick wall.
The laundry tub is me.
The bucket of water is me.
My swollen cuts and bleeding tears are also me.
My mother is me.
Her healing is me.
I am the tiny hands that trap her from leaving.
Her path is mine.
The house is mine.
This house is me.
The dream is real.

REMEMBER

It is easy to forget that there are no missing pieces;
all that is incomplete is perfectly whole.
Perception lacks nothing
and requires no clarity
to exist in a state of belonging.

See the world for what it gives you,
no matter how finite or abstract the gifts.
Your soul is incomparable to the next –
what you need
and what will be delivered
will always be enough.

ASTEROID

I expect too much of time
in the little I have left.
I am a dinosaur,
and it,
the pummeling to come.

I wait for its whoosh to confound me;
the bending skyward of my neck;
the brevity of my innocence;
my un-vocal surrender.

A wounded animal,
contorted by such clarity,
confronted
by my lack of ease
as I awkwardly live to expire.
