First Two Lines From a Dream, Followed by Lines Written Immediately Upon Waking

First Two Lines From a Dream, Followed by Lines Written Immediately Upon Waking


Sweet leaf Keats drew my whole life over
It gave flesh to me

Tumbling over mountains over
rivers, through valleys
like a borg in heat

SHE stoned me
and cried for me

I let down my dress
and went to
heaven

Absolved of nothing
yet resolved to everything
I entreated the sun

Infrared rays reveal
astrological scars
amidst the ruins,
like a farmer's car
amidst faint
festoons of
pansies.
