Dreamwork

 

 
But a single window
distinguishes his room
from a white, Sheetrock box,

its panes unbreakable
as tempered steel.
For weeks he’s languished there,

still too disturbed to earn
a smoke break in the courtyard.
From his lips, in his dreamwork,

flow reams of memorized scripture.                                                Awake, in a daymare, he stares
outside the window at the red,

unbearable violence
of a nearby rosebush, blooming,
a dozen fragrant prophets

unrolling their scarlet scrolls,
mumbling their elusive
prophecies of lucidity.
