I set a jar of sand inside my dreams
I set a jar of sand inside my dreams
growing an impossible flower that
no one can pick when the heat got too
much
and I woke with a terrible headache
the jar of sand in my dreams was
actually
a hand trying to erase each wave of
pain
pool all that energy into a motor boat
the hand was holding that flower tight
until I could smell the morning air
just
after rain and nothing could be plucked
out of me even the clouds took thin
breaths
the hand that held the dream dropped
knowing just then the odds
-s.m.g.
