in another world it will all be born again
even the least trace of the day
you misplaced
the spools of thread lost under
the chair you sat in sewing, up all night
mending cares and you're Queen Mab
sewing for her charioteers
taking up their hems for years
of the dream they were in
and you were too
and you and you
wasn't that a rainbow somewhere
a pale white dove descending
and you're in a world of pearl
no longer having to earn anything
and the light spills over the doorway
lillac shadows in their arms.
they say it isn't that far
they always say in the old songs
