Metamorphosis
Metamorphosis
I woke up in a sponge of a floating
Cloud, in there
I had dreamed to build
A universe
Or love on my palms.
Attempted to remember the sculpt
Frame. If I had remembered the slate
Printed on,
I would call and draw
Her ear and picture of it. I couldn’t
Recall, rather daydreamed and
Dialed
Her number to share the card,
But confused red from blue.
Yet determined
And the dream slipped into thought,
Thought into a trance.
I phoned her –
Let art be thought strictly in parallel
And admired,
No incision (as simple as that).
Was that all I called her to say?
She wasn’t surprised or
Angry, only raised a card, red solid,
And
Resolved to draw a temporary one.
Trust, I didn’t remind her.
