Enchanted


Where do your dreams take you?

Being
     at the bottom of my own heart
a passageway through:
to the deep fears

hovering spider,
my brother's casket being lowered,
letters on a gravestone,

release, release
not far          up through the black water
a pearl -- dark liquid dries and turns to ash, is stirred up

Father, Father

picturing myself talking again

a fist, a wrist, fingers
filling up the space
of the heart
