DREAM

                                  
Why do we dream
If that only appears arid
Curtain behind curtain
We search for
Benign embellishment
At the altitude of graceful laurel.

Somebody screams, somebody shouts
On the exterior of endless night 
where we make
Glossary of anhydrous rainbow
Calculus of silence and green foliage
Certain breezes that fetch brown rain.

Sometimes we worship the crowd 
For whom the theatre
Synthesizes overnight threnody
Up here we belong
Pouring a little respect
On alien anotomy with
Drowsy premonition,
And before the ordeal revives
Our spineless temptation
We sidle up to the key
Nearest to heaven
Ending secrets and innocence.
