Dream #333

Red
sat regal
in cornflower pandering
of wide spread alabaster thighs
her awakening head
perched absurd in a little birds cage

how tragedy slips beneath our toes
with the silent violent cunning
of one stray match

but i recalled
her somnolent head
in the way mistress morning
brought me again orange
of closed fingers to the sun

blinded albino
emerge delicate
from crinkled cotton afterbirth

squinting
