you know
well enough
dreams are like
blue mountains
climb them, but
don’t
look down
over your shoulder
the old men of mercy
drag their cumbersome sacks
by the time
you reach
the hitching post
sunk blue eyes disturb you
no, I’m sorry, that’s what
they tell you
will you listen
to a confusion of whispers
women’s soft breasts in silk
old shoes and salad bowls
there are no real voices here
only the pieces, unfinished
in the woods
where the blue mountains
are
