Drowned
I dreamed of drowning-
flashes of dark leaves
and bright colors swirling.
I could not remember the words
to the Lord’s Prayer,
they were tumbling out of order
as I struggled up through the sheets,
gasping into the light.
Amen, I said. Amen.

Not remember the words to the Lord’s Prayer is a striking detail of the dream.
Waking can be such a blessing. <3
