The Dream

I was mere five years old,
sipping tea with
my raggedy dolls

Was it a tremolo hand
or a tight corset
that lifted the flat horizon

The peaks rose
like fountains
singing exaltation

It returned a few times
once as an elder lion,
another like you alone

A music, unaffected
by practice or pattern
a joy without living future

Decades later I think
must have been a memory
of an abandoned paradise

A dream, to accompany
this slumber,
on our way back to it
