1st Annual Voyage to Space

[Tiger the Lion]

Lucid

There is no earth-like world
so far from here
that I can't get to it
and find you 

waiting for me.

I could conjure 
a beach somewhere
with silver sand 
and not another soul in sight

where a sun-like star
splits the cotton candy clouds
to spit lemon drops
on your shoulders
while you skip in the surf--

flushed,

pretending not to see me.




But there are nightmares too;
nightmares darker than lucid is luminous.

There are nightmares too.
