A Welcome Visitor - Dream
Before dawn reveals the Goddess’ face
I awaken to the sound of the vacuum cleaner
like an unaccountable effect
from mornings when she breathed
the sweet air of earth
And so with giddy joy
I find her spirit made flesh
but she cries like a newborn babe
until I gather her in my arms
with her black crushed velvet hair
of a purple Vegas sunset sheen
I ask her where the afterlife took her
“First I went to the palace of the great beyond”
And she projects the image in my mind
the edifice spans a mountain valley
with windows lit like a honeycomb
in the Galactic night
She says, “The queen gave me a placemat”
“Don’t let me loose by myself in the car” she says
because her vaporous form
might let slip the steering wheel
Though not licensed to drive
and invisible to people other than me
the illusion of talking to myself
lends itself well to our laughter
when giggles chase away the tears
