In the cold petals of sleep,

without fear or trepidation,

angels fly. Fastened to whiteness,

fugitive stars guide them

to my empty meadows.

They brush my eyes

with their heated bodies

and forests rise from stone,

the radiant flux of history

written in flecks and swirls.

They trace the mineral dark

with their soft wings

and leaf by leaf trees root

in the freshet of the night.

Blackbird by blackbird,

branches feather

the unfurnished dream.

A small stream rises,

ample, impossibly clear.
