dreams
naked soul
clutch white towel
at waist to hide
my nakedness
choir in robes
passes through
my house
go up to bedroom
ask nine women
to leave
cannot show
my nakedness
my young mother
appears in
black evening
dress
she wants me
to hug her
I step toward her
dropping towel
flying above
forest
cathedral below
no roof
spires a crown
open to sky
last person to see
my naked soul
was my mother
when I was child
open your soul
open your
cathedral
to heaven
clutch white towel
at waist to hide
my nakedness
choir in robes
passes through
my house
go up to bedroom

when I was child
open your soul
open your
cathedral

now bald

his bare head
show weakness
and vulnerability
earn blessing
of mother goddess
man in mirror
michael jackson
on veranda
butler brings
shaving kit
and mirror
i look in mirror
see his face
his father doubtful
i now stand apart
think hair too large
trim unwanted hair
unwanted thoughts
mirror message
If you wanna make
world a better place
look at yourself
make a change
beatles said it first
we all want to change
your head
holywood
dream creativity
if available in waking
would make every man
a dante or shakespeare
wrote frederic hedge
but dream writers
in heaven not earth
with producers
actors and
audience of angels
drawing on your
memories and any
faces they choose
die and become
star in mortal dreams
star in holywood
earth time is
not dream time

of rem are few
in heaven

Truman Capote in 1959
paris hotel
rising stars
in paris hotel
nineteen fifty-nine
leslie caron
at front desk
truman capote
in lobby
he asks me
to his room
in bed I allow
him to hug me
on walk I say
he is friend
even my analyst
return alone
to hotel
caron trips and falls
into my arms
i’m too old for this
dream dictionary
says truman is me
my own best
friend and counselor
but maybe dream
is less about me
and more about me
telling you
there are gays
in heaven
the movie set
of our dreams
