22 SEPT 88
DREAM
Hush my child be quiet,
give your momma a kiss,
don't listen to the riot,
drift away into the abyss.
Dream of a forest, trees--
shade from the month, June.
Sit their quietly shcuking peas,
there's no need to prune.
Dream of a blue crystal,
hanging in the local bar.
A shoot-out and a pistol
A star with his guitar.
Close to waking you brooded,
with that the night concluded.
CALDER WOLFE
