Bookstore Dream, No. 42
No matter how many circles
I run in,
their circumference tightening,
the aisles a maddening unfamiliarity,
I cannot find this poor little girl
a copy of The Twenty-One Balloons.
Werewolf Dream that featured Vampires (or the Other Way ‘Round)
I refuse to acknowledge this one
I don’t have this sort of dream
At least it was dark
Gothic even
I had a really amazing beard
