transparent dream

Water colored dreams of conversation taking
place between you and I.

I ask, why are you sleeping so far away?
You look at me; whisper. Can’t talk.
Who can’t talk? Me or you?
Name that isn’t either.
Either
You
Or I. Any name. No name. Never name.

Insatiable

incandescent
and like skin.
Almost satiated scent.

The universe is swelling
Pregnant and dizzy
Barking birds
Tinfoil leaves
Clanking and grey
By postage stamps floating in puddles
Tiny ships lifted by ghost hands

Tattooed and
Imprinted
Beneath skin and hair lines
Curled up in fingernails
Cut and hooked
Pulled by a string
Or umbilical chord
Belly first
White gutted
And red throat

Orange and green
Wind from covered suns
Black beetle sized wagons
I spit out the pith
It goes between the mountains
And gets stuck in a goats head

3.
I slip between the secret cracks of sounds, pause a breath a muscle a synapse between finger and brain and typing fingers. I keep the
I keep the light
I keep my name
First time keeping secrets
Holding it close to chest
And scraping it with my thumb nail
Wooden and veined
Ringing

I forgot my body
somewhere between home and
this old apartment
wind harder here, snow deeper there
like a limb cut off
my mother said.
