FRIDAY NIGHT’S DREAM ON SATURDAY TOLD
I find myself again
in a dream—
I know
no one,
I’ve been gone too long
from work. A supervisor comes
with an armload of files
& calendar.
“Here,” he says,
“Go. Find yourself a desk.”
I smile at him, he’s younger,
his hair is brown,
like mine
once was.
I turn & dash to the elevator.
The door opens, but it’s jammed.
I take the stairs
bouncing down
until
I step into a walled garden—
The scent of hyacinth.
Red tulips open & close
like those nights
of writing
where nothing is forbidden.
