Ocean

At the shore
of the universe, the sudden
turn of lotus eyelids,
human folly escapes
these lips and the dreamer
dreams us up.

At the whistle
of this breath, the poem
of death unread, our wisdom
chokes
on its words and the dreamer dreams us up.
The dreamer dreams dreams of us,
sipping life past a lazy night,
washing our passions out
loud
in clouds
of haste, the dreamer dreams us up.
