Falling


FALLING

I find myself waking at night
the sound of the screen door
the smell of crushed sage leaves
the taste of quince in a mask

A dream, its not done with us

I see flashes of light in corners
there in darkness without a moon
there chickens hide from hawks
there is a stone in my rubber boots

A dream, its not done with us




I wish on marigolds scaring bugs
the fleeting tail of a mouse 
the sliver of summer sunset
the acorns ground to flour

                                                                A dream of fall
                                                                A prayer to fly
