We sit in an airless room surrounded by windows
Blue-black sky, towering neighbors
Wheelchair heaven.
You describe your dream:
Recurring images of chemo-stallions racing across your night sky
Towing starched lines that abruptly plunge to earth.
Lilacs hang daintily on the shower-rings of
New age transfusions,
Shamelessly spilling the scent of spring.
You take an old picture frame,
Plucked from the attic of your mind
And work to bring it all together.
It doesn’t fit.
Smell the lilacs
Feel the power of the stallion’s haunches
See the blue, blue sky without interpretation.
Enjoy this day, this view.
It is all you.
