I dreamed of an age old dream when Old Man Time had not bleached into everyday oblivion, and the Sun still faced his two Foes
I dreamed—saw you there waiting for me with your pastel camera — the look you gave me and that hard paper magazine which you always wanted to make art with—
I knew you, somehow, we had swum among midnight sunflowers in bloom, the twin Moons at our back, the finger I lost to a crimson butterfly which you told me not to touch
I knew you, and you me as the Sun knew the Moons as Starfish knew her Ocea— it’s always known, I know, alone, I know, and yet—
I woke up, again alone, knew not that the Night was decaying, and so was the aged old dream
sometimes memory comes to us in forms of dreams, a kind of memory that is pared off from everyday reality -- the reality we thought we know
