Dream

if I were a free man, unencumbered,
I'd write a poem describing the dream
I had last night

we were in a graveyard
full moon, meteors,
middle of a clear day
on a hill, summer breeze,
in the country, creek, trees

a church, ancient, catholic,
St. Rose, beauty everywhere,
high summer, wondering
what the future holds

but being not a free man, encumbered,
I can't write a poem describing the dream
I had last night
