Little Surprises

In a tired dream

On a wrong street

Across from a bar

There you are

Lost I am

Tracing tracks

Down my arm

Up my leg

Family memories

Under a hat

Covered with hair

Beneath a jacket

With warm gloves

I know your face

The one I dream of

And how are we here

Why now – in the dirt

Above the earth

In-between buildings & trees.

Forget the flowers

It’s still too cold

The days are short.

Inside where it’s warm

Over yonder is a place

Deep inside we can glow

Together we’ll hibernate

Along the river bed

Toward the seas

Beyond the horizon

In a tired dream
