I WOKE DREAMING

i woke dreaming,
left clothless
in the sky at night, bright
rich ribbon wrapped back
over, dreaming southern cross
breathing north star.
i dream the seas at halfway rock
banging against the ocean back
to jaquish, kneeling carved iron,
humble, waiting
dreaming jaquish
jaquish night
jaquish sand
jaquish gull

i dream a road home
old road, tall trees
houseless, and a pond
i dream home
stars, moon following
from the truck window
red truck
pines like mine
full moon blue black
night, shadows and
just enough light

i remember it so clearly,
a kingdom of dream
parceled in my
heart
