Directions for Dreaming
By Toni Lefton Trade the day for an empty mind: no bills, no work, no things you should have said. Sleep like a fog slowly rising over the tree-line, a gray gauze covering limbs, softening the branches of Oak, pinion, juniper and pine. See the faint sketch of a small sea town, mushroom-colored houses and red tin roofs, watch the steeple of a church spear through layers of vapor; know the ocean is close by. Let the mist settle in your bones and the logs of the body will float away – you are everywhere covering distant countries you cannot name, spreading across fields and city streets where someone has risen early to bake bread. |
