Blue Dreams

Preview Image: 
Blue dreams fill my sleep. I am writing
as three women ancestors smile and nod
with each word that I put to paper. Backs
against my bed’s stiff headboard, we sit
in a row, our legs straight and crossed at
the ankles. Rose, Kasia and Hannah, tell me
your stories.  Let me hear your laughter
and know your light. Let the Lake’s dark
basin overflow in our laps as autumn songs
tumble from your lips, then rise in coral mist.
