Dream

It started some days before
Many things dreamed dreaming into being 
Still, the mundane and irksome
Bits getting about in uneven spring
Though clouds of redbud everywhere

Uneven, when I cross old floorboards
They've deflected for so long
The old square nailheads pop through 
The pine, and I don't stumble
But almost. I don't know but I
Am unsteady, the trick being to 
Say why. I am sorting through the 
Possibilities.

Last night after some surprises,
A deep wound began to bleed 
Among the healed places, so I slept
And there, far, far away, your gentle
Soothing hands upon me
Take time to understand, 
You said. And so I did.
