I

(Dreamwork)
Last night,
he saw them stream out
of the winding mountain trail
& onto the camp on the plain
where they made their beds
of twigs, stones & leaves
with their safari of animals
who dug up holes like earthbound nests…
Then, at the sun’s final gleaming
they pulled up their blankets to their chests
to sleep the sleep of stars.
He saw her at the mountain top,
soaked in the flaming red
of a dying sun —
& finally he reckoned
the distance between her
& him sitting under the sycamore shade
is the Derridean differance
between morning leaves shooting up
on the branch
& evening leaves falling down
to drape his bony feet.
