Graduation

     I am having a dream about the senior class graduating.

     It is a beautiful day

     And I am watching from a hill

     Sobbing as the hats fly off

 

     Now the graduates get up and cartwheel across the field,

     Away from me,

    Away,

  Away,

Away.

    Do you feel your head unspooling into the universe?

    The strings are fraying at the edges, 

    irreparably stained with the stardust at the ends

    Of the many worlds you stretch across.

    Sacred Holy Dream

    Yes, Alice thought as she drifted deeper into sleep from within that lightless and beautiful place, make it stranger now. Make it all new again.
