dreams when they fall from the dream tree...
are they ripe like figs, golden inside the plums
purple and blue and violet on the outside or
you can't be sure in the twilight if the twilight colours
are what they really are so you paint them in several
different aspects or sing to them in your sleep
dreams when they fall
even in the hurricane season
go out on the dream lawn
and capture them lest they fly
or be retrieved by angels
thinking they made a mistake
to drop them there for you
in the blue green bluegrass wet with dew.
