Heron-Tank

Dreamed 2020/11/12 by Wayan

I talk with a heron in a marsh atop a tower. Dream sketch by Wayan. Click to enlarge.

The silveregg tower makes me dizzy, but I
monkey the ladder. Humidity. In.
The tank cups a marsh of flowering green;
bay windows ring this womb in the sky.

Reedy pond. Great herons. Blue the view.
These waterbirds speak! They tell me how
they see our earth: "Road, field, stone--
an underworld of souls half-grown--

still flightless squawkers. To swoop below
may be a small death--or a hatching from
our nest-egg." Sigh! The pond's not my home:
my books'd rot. No tanks! Yet O

the fresh, to speak with sane creatures again
free of that stifling material plain.
