dreams of this
stitched while I was sleeping ~

                   were words
                   I'd spoke before
                   and so I spoke them (new)
                   again
                   was no one
                   there to listen
                   'cept the raindrops
                   on the glass
                   the last of autumn
                   colors
                   melted somewhere to the east
                   I could hear the first
                   flakes falling
                   as I drifted
                   off to sleep

                   wrapped in ashes
                   cedar smoke
                   feathers thick upon
                   my breast
                   song that cooled
                   when met with change
                   enough to keep me close
                   drifting elsewhere
                   beyond the frost
                   patterns to the panes
                   left my ribbons
                   to show the way
                   returning
                   how long til they'd
                   be covered
                   up in dreams

                   familiar warmth
                   of made believe
                   almost frozen
                   by the fall
                   the coming back
                   much harder than it should have been
                   lips turned blue
                   as winters fell
                   forgotten
                   how to kiss
                   and wrapped in wool
                   (muted shades of red)
                   stitched while I was
                   sleeping
                   far away in dreams
                   of this
