Transmutation in a Dream

I dream about her and see

a metamorphosis beneath

the ****** woad

 

I dream about her after falling

into a bed that has held the shape

of my irregular body

 

I dreamed about her

 

She is the only morning star and too

the black caterpillar in dye

below the leaves

 

Does her repose animate me?

 

I think and think I do

the thought extending to my limbs

somatic skin and the receptors in

my eyes appraising the world

 

In every moment of sleep and dream

where I could be awoken

from the impairment of unconsciousness

there were moments of sleep

where I did not dream and

the butterfly was not me
