  • in the dream
    a child and I are destroying a piece of tagboard
    he needs for a project
    covering it with cartoony images
    but only one side
    aware on some level
    the devastation must not be total


    knowing there is another woman
    he cares for
    (though she will not be spared)
    and wishing he would die


    so much anger
    with no place to go
    it holds me in the warm bed
    as I watch the steel elephants advance on my window
    in the dali-desert sky
