Warm
Awake, with distant views, I fear
I’ve often admired your…form.
It’s goddamn dreams that make it clear
your body feels so very warm.
-Sean’s dream, the afternoon of 3/17
Kiss
Yes, I can tell. Something’s amiss.
You’ve been insulted by someone?
And then I turn and feel your kiss,
and now (of course,) I am undone.
(Sean’s dream the night of 2/29)
Naked
Our friendship’s been a trying task,
but we are here today, somehow.
There’s just one thing I have to ask…
umm, why am I naked right now?
(Sean’s dream the night of 2/28)
Son
There’s smoke in here. The lights are dim.
A black table. Four chairs that squeak.
“But who would think of stopping him?”
“Well, me. I am his son.” And no one speaks.
-Sean’s dream, the afternoon of 2/18
Sly
There’s little I can think of, now.
It’s clear that I was not alone.
We’re at this concert, here, somehow -
it’s Sly and the Family Stone.
-Sean’s dream the night of 2/15
Crying
Before tonight’s blunt sleep began
I saw you crying in your room.
It’s in my dreams (please understand) -
that’s where I weep in front of you.
(Sean’s dream the night of 2/8)
Endtimes
He’ll send me to a youthful grave;
my soul and body, he to rend.
How sad! I run from this rough knave
when world whole is at its end.
(Sean’s dream the night of 2/2)
Bridget
Well, Bridget, no, it isn’t fair;
this evening’s gone straight to my head.
Just put me in that wagon there
and drag me to my lonely bed.
(Sean’s dream the night of 2/1)
Fans
You jump beside the fans, and fly.
(Well, glide. We’re human, after all.)
“Alone,” I think, “I’d reach the sky.
With her, it seems I wouldn’t fall.”
-Sean’s dream the night of 1/28
Dinosaurs
I liked the way it was before,
their rocky graves lie still un-churned.
We don’t go out much anymore,
not since the dinosaurs returned.
-Sean’s dream the night of 1/27
