I.
Last night I dreamt
I failed a spelling test
10 out of 19

me small enough
to be held to need
to be seen again

to be allowed to be lost
in my thoughts to dream
as if again I were only

II.
It is not easy
to fall gently back to sleep
when one’s awakened

III.
Your generosity
makes me blush
I am not much
for such compliments
