traversing, or 'the water' (dream) [2010]

I am strapped in 
to sleeping
and ever
going on

(these are certainly disparate ideas...

...collecting at the wading feet of the body)

d.
no shoes can support
the weight of my 
unconscious treading
(brown here reaching green there)

r.
no man can drive me
to saturation
when dirt is his road
(the grass is where I am)

e.
no traveling can be
without breathing
a dank education
(the campus is fertile and awake)

a.
no path leads to
the cross-over
that is visible
(the other side requires the water)

m.
no growth can happen
on any morning
without getting wet
(a dew is forming on me)

[!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!]

  the alarm has
          sounded
          and I am
          going on
