many dreams last night
strange and powerful
and so brightly lit
a luxury hotel in the sky
bioshock performance for the crowd
at a gangsters' award ceremony
sipping whiskey
and smoking cigarettes
naked
in the hotel pool on the rooftop
with the young ******* billionaire
glass of warmed milk
waiting for me in my room
atop a hand-scrawled note
pleading for mercy
gently lifting the tiny girl from the floor
where she had fallen
and laying her down
on her silk bed
stabbing her with the needle
to deliver the potion
that will still her seizures
making passionate
desperate
affectionate love
with my wife
for hours
in the living room
in the bright sunlight
in front of everyone
and back in the bedroom
in the soft lamplight
all by ourselves
just for us
woke this morning
lifted high from Dreaming
back to earth
to the bright sound
through my window
of the first birdsong
of the New Spring
and a new day
and another Me
