Dreamscape by Dylan Mattingly

---------------Chalk mountains
--------------------thousand autumns down cloudwinds

all West,
-----------Howland Island
-----------sometimes lowflying over Ameliaʼs marker rock

missed islands, like cloud cover
-----airstrip built, lost, bombed
“like a photograph of the earth taken coming back from the moon”
-----without ever feeling rubber

—last final shaking B fades out. snare, C, dm7, “once upon a time you dressed so fine,”
plexiglass window, citiglow shakes red trees, little lights fly, collide train horns into black,
reach the cold wall—

-------------------snow on Nepalese skyscrapers,
-------------------------David Attenborough narrates flyovers

-------------------sleep translates Dutch

-------------------another autumn in Japan

-------------------------between winks.
