THE WAKING DREAM

Dehydration.
Nobody is speaking this.
The throat cannot be cleared.
The hostility is palpable.
A judgment that repeats
Like a stuck machine.
The clouds are brown,
The commentator is sleeping.
Many have crushes on her.
Infancy feels infinite, whereas
Fancy... the desert stretches
Across the bedroom. Wind
Says "How" and moves
In circles. The hand
Makes many small movements.
