account of a dream
a bearded man who adorns a cloak throws me
onto the wet square ledges of a foreign citie’s market.
green translucent water drips down the ledges like tiny
waterfalls as i’m able to make use of them like public
transportation.
i zig & zag while jumping from ledge to ledge all the
while passing the locals in their market.
the market is filled with food and what looks like
bronze shaped to candelabras and vases.
everyone stares in wonderment as i fly by.
the ledges lead me to what looks like an ancient crater
filled with water from the ledge run-off.
i eagerly dive into the water-filled natural disaster.
as i’m falling in i have what seems like a long time to
realize there is one giant whale shaped shadow in the
depths of the lake.
as soon as i hit the wet i am already scrambling to get out.
i’m not certain if the creature hears the thump of my landing.
i’m sure it resonates as only a drop in the massive crater.
i struggle and slip as i try to remove myself from the lake.
it seems as if the dirt and rocks around the edge just give
way at my touch.
the most i got out was maybe my leg over the edge before
intermission
