Ripples

You missed a ****-storm
of dysfunction
geysered from the bowels of the earth
raining down
dark sticky obstacles

I soldier through
as I always do

In my dream you come for me
we sleep under the root
of a giant tree
where you live
clean
and free
of the stench
I retreat to that familiar
place in my  heart
where you throw pebbles
into my pond
and I’m
hypnotized
by the wavy reflection 
of the moon
