Creative Work 251
Dead Friends
Between the panic and the pillow now
But it's not quite time to wake
There's something of the nightmare the new day can't take
And as I set aside this sun
Diurnal freedom
Greenwater love undone
And now the simple sounds of moving air
That melancholy elsewhere
Where I no longer am
With those who could not be
No backward glance to a more subtle view
It's from here to the dream mix memory
And what was nearly true
Stephen Dutton
