Louisiana Nightmare
---Brown Pelican Speaks---
I dreamed I danced with sea-creatures,
Between here and before…
I dreamt I wept with wandering waves,
Confused by silence, unable to ebb and flow…
I dreamed I prayed with the spirits of old sea captains,
Upon angelic clouds, unable to soothe the dry-docked tears
Of their grandchildren, looking skyward for hope…
I awoke………frozen in oil
