waterbed
raze no terrestrial motion sickness
only waves
rocking me to sleep
to the rhythm of my breathing
beneath a thin heated vinyl membrane

i dream of flight
so mundane in its magic
that when i wake
i will my body to rise
from this stationary watercraft
and am stunned
when nothing happens

these dreams persist
until i'm sure they're memories
and i'm left to wonder
which is more real
the dreamer
or the pictures made
by his dormant mind?

i dream i have a daughter
i know from her eyes
we share the same blood
the dark lace of her hair
an intercession

when morning comes
my child is gone
and a part of me has left with her

but listen
the sea beneath me sings

what's it to you?
who go
blather
from
