When Creatures From Your Dreams Convene

Though they may perch upon

each other for a moment

or brush by each other’s eyes

through silence in the silky air,

when creatures from your

dreams convene, they rarely

know who’s there. They glance

or take a whiff and then

descend into another almost

solo reverie. The devilry

of dreams is that they’re always

almost solo. They may permit

a touch, a breath, a gaze from

something other than

themselves but mainly if you’re

China, they’re not Marco Polo.
