transition




what of the dream 
dispersed just as you wake
sensed for seconds
then almost impossible
to recall


is there cryptic meaning 
pressed through the cheesecloth
of dawn
so diffused 
that no more than a trace
remains


like worry
the struggle to recall
to salvage
with the desire to fall
back
to sleep
collide


the dream slides
like a childhood memory
into a moment of surrender


evanesces
and then
is forfeited to the provocation of waking
