Walking at daybreak
Each thing loves the rising sun
Taking a deep breath
– a saturday morning
A blanket spread out
With paper to wrap them up
Selling Kings and Queens
– seen in a dream
Even in my dreams
Turning it into complaints
Lack of any time
– seen in a dream
Big rough callous hands
Her voice, as thin as her hair
Carefully braiding
– seen in a dream
Her head on his lap
Everyone will be there then
Learning how to fall
– seen in a dream
Distant dogs barking
Orange bottles line the sink
Our time is over
– seen in a dream
Skittering, scratching
Saturday morning cartoons
Feeding cats and dogs
– seen in a dream
A quick wave goodbye
Someday would come again
Children know these things
– seen in a dream
“Where have you gone to?”
She tried to find the island
When I closed my eyes
– seen in a dream
“Let’s go to the beach”
Candy sprinkles on her face
“I think I’ll take you”
– seen in a dream
