In the Third Sleep

Susan Glickman

(after Kay Sage)




If our dreams could weave their silk across the night
the synaptic biome spinning tendrils
from our soft bodies
 
If our dreams could swim or fly or sail
from the skull’s rocky grotto
and its geometry of violence
 
If our dreams could span this windless expanse
to arrive at that other dimension 
where tenderness awaits
