waking from dream in the unmade yellow and blue bed

something about rain of tears cloud of dark disdain

if chosen, instead of any other point, is therefore

more abstract mental deliberations bracketed by two

sustained exterior glimpses, sun off water’s shield

some passages refer to things we don’t see, present

them in language which invites us to visualize them
