I keep my dreams
Like platoons
Of pebbles
Massed at
The side of
A park riverbed.
Many small buttons
Of oval stone-
Simple enough
To tote home
In your jacket pocket,
Or send away,
Skipping downstream
And sinking
To the bottom
Of some black bay.
Many men may…
Favor mountains;
Should dreams be
As grand as they?
A hulking golem
Of stationary ground
With land too large-
To toss around.
