DREAMS THAT TRAVEL A LONG DISTANCE YET ARE NOT ORACULAR

  

Dreams that travel a long distance yet are not oracular

I have heard some say though not in my hearing

mean that nothing special will happen today

one way or  the other

should we fall asleep at high tide

or speak in a dolphin delphinium language we have never learned

to choose which side in the battles that seem endless

but seeming may not be so

take comfort there in the borderlands of consciousness

where no battle lines are drawn

nor even indicated with dotted lines,

(strategic, dulled trajectories)

In the eternal sphere of things

almost mentioned in dreams

films flickering at the edge of peripheral seeing

with truly fairy tale endngs

where all the images converge

as if in kaleidoscopic Being

and with their attendant angels,

unnamed heralds

to dry your secret tears
