After a dream 2 mornings ago
reluctantly kissing a crook
on a slippery slope
in the rain, last night
Eye had a DOOZY of A DREAM:
I finally HAD HIM, My DHW
in the single bed of My Mother’s Room
in Jordan Bay*
I held Him
& We kissed for the first time.
It was a DOOZY of a kiss
w tongues & limbs & hands
— We were both so happy —
then in a Hotel Restaurant/bar
David had his wallet open
spilling bright green Scottish Bills
on the floor
& I said, “I’ll check
if this is an International Hotel
& if they take Scottish currency.”
*Jordan Bay refers to My Grandparents’ now derelict summer house near Shelburne, NS

Eye am caught like The Deer
inside The Head Lights
of M(eye) Shower of Silver Daggers
piercing Me for M(eye) Eternity

dangling like a carrot
(& Eye am The Donkey
going ’round & ’round & ’round)
