Tammy Understands Dreams

When Tammy drinks raindrops on window glass
to taste sorrow of strangers on the Earth
who pick raspberries from the unfenced field,
she feels eternal light gleam in her eyes
so she sees essence of each human soul
that helps her disappear in stream of words.

If Tammy explains lassitude of gods
with words of gold embossed on marble tombs,
we might hear endless cries of suffering
in fields of mourning where milk cows eat grass
because they steal strange memories of our eyes
with anxious experience of trembling joy.

Though Tammy mistranslates edible smells
to shimmer of ghosts on the primrose path,
she hides her naked heart with waves of light
when she invites me to swim in her lake
halfway to completion of her weird dream
blessing heavenly bridge between our hearts.

Yet Tammy discovers with blush of faith
her heart is impenetrable to contempt
contrived by unfulfilled passion of respect
we share with mutual acceptance that death
tries to mislead us with sweet fantasy
that we live forever in paradise.

Before Tammy maps ruins of our love
she intimates that angels without mouths
imitate how she sings with butterflies
to repeal law against our sacred bond
commanded by invisible police
who impose gratitude with scarlet pulse.

Because Tammy dissociates our trust
to stamp purpose of living on our hearts,
she finds me inscrutable to her sense
of freaked amusement without radar vibes
despite our vow to share star messages
submerged in supple waters of the pool.

Since Tammy understands dreams I conceal
with psychic sense of obvious solitude,
she hungers for my face that fades with time
while I sketch writhing maps in blood-stained clay
depicting habitat of horse and owl
to illustrate process of soul decay.

Still Tammy leads me to cave by the sea
where First Mother of all humanity
chants ancient song of ardent innocence
which nurtures how civilizations thrive
based on weird mysteries of the common place
that beams from still point of the universe.
