Harvest Moon Outshines
The Pre-Dawn Sky, Horizon
Pulls the Rushing Clouds
Away, Away, and
Away, Clouds’ Gravity Pulls My
Heart and Mind Away
I am Awake Now
And Yet Dreaming of my Past
And of Our Future
Away, Away, and
Away, Clouds’ Gravity Pulls My
Heart and Mind Away
I am Awake Now
And Yet Dreaming of my Past
And of Our Future
You Can Almost See
Color Above the Marshes,
In the Trees, The Sky
You Can Almost See,
As the Earth Cools, The Colors
Of our Rising Dreams
Talked of Your Freckles,
Of Food, And Other Delights
Real or Just Desired
It Had Been Awhile
But Still We Talked Easily
Across All The Gaps
The House is Asleep,
Now as Then, The Dreams Scented
With Warm Cinnamon
The Kitchen is Ruled
By Wooden Spoons and Wire Wisks
And Long Memory
And Clouds Outlined in
Colors too Passionate to
Be Called Apricot
And You Still Abed
And Me, Driving East, Dreaming
Of Home and Day’s End
Sifting Through the Mind
Slowly, All Effervescent
And Insubstantial
Saved by the Sure Weight
Of Memory, Casting Its Light
Into the Future
