down we go

sleep, sleep,

she slides into a dream
sideways

down on hot pavement, through a cracked window, to clean air, bright sun, a cool breeze. over a bridge and through the city, up into deep dark and misty forests, sloshing like water in a bowl. icicles leave you empty, but warm.

dark shadows
collect

dark shadows pile, thin layers of doubt
dark shadows pile, sediment makes stone, makes heavy earth rich with humus

where will your seeds grow? when their true leaves push forth, where will they find light? will their roots slide down? will their flowers open freely and with hope?
