RIC S. BASTASA

a dream is so beautiful
at dawn,
it comes wounding me
but it is alright
it is the most usual thing that happens
in my life
and so here i am again
licking my wounds
nurturing it
so that i may heal
again and again

deep within i do not wish this wound
to heal
somehow it is this orifice
that creates
an opening to my life
day to day
