The Dream Of A Friend

The Dream Of A Friend

a friend spoke of a cemetery dream
and i thought of Italy
--his house
--our conversations
--associations feeding Pasolini
that feeds my mind
and there
--In the cemetery
--reminiscing on a life
--Revealed
--Unveiled
--In visions
Soft obscure

and internet
snippets
--do we understand the form?
--Pasolini writes of poverty

I feel the strings of history--protest--
wars I didn't understand
--the friend had paid _his_ price
--Pasolini _his_

we all wonder about that twisted curve of time
--how it all brings us
--somehow
--back

to a place where names like
--Springfield
--verse
--and dreams of cemeteries
accumulate
like bodies--resting?--vexing?--flexing?--

with the awareness--or not--
that

_anyone_
was present ...
