a weight of the heart, life between pages,
a boutonniere for the mind

In my dream I finally turn lucid and
realize I just don’t care about flying

I release a bee, caught between screen and window,
crank open the glass; it takes him a while to finally trust
there is freedom beyond the pane.

At night, with my eyes inured to the dark, I flash the lights on.
Photons converge to blind me, parade to illuminate my optic nerve,
a flare – I am a film negative, colors inverted until I adapt and am
once again rightly defined,
trillions of sucking pulsating vortices,
the pointillism of the actual corrects itself;
in the time it takes, in that gap, I am postured, the interim, neither.

I blow on the body of the tiny moth
attached to my screen, watch its body
turn to talc; the night breeze ripples
and lifts the remains away. In my mind
is a soft gray stain.
