Dream Believer 2014

what does she dream about

when she dreams before

the ghosts wake her

 before Dawn

with worry and guilt

what does she see as she skates

 over that uncertain landscape

the shapes of her unconscious desires

coming to life before her

 some pleasant some comfortable

 some beastie, scaring her

her Ruby slippers can’t protect her

 not from flying monkeys

nor The Witch on her broom

 these shapes of her own creation

 that keep her back from what she needs

does She dream of salvation

or a knight on a horse

of any color

or does she see herself as

a Joan of Arc

strong on her own

fighting against the waking world
