Kit Kelen #1258 - always my house, never the same

1258
always my house, never the same

in my dream

go swimming with passport in pocket
lots of little fires ashore
keep the table clean

I go to climb the mountain
lonely in its mists
friendly tribes

sad when they wake me for a funeral
when was despair heroic?

descend the creek
another bout there

have lived here a stranger
always dreamt more than remember

I carve my name in the story

have to keep abreast of the water
I mean more than a head above

cannot get to sleep in my dream
but spin the one-more-time world

roll with it one more time

  1. Does the dream end when we wake? I like this poem very much. Cheers.
