dreams - by Bil Johnson

dreams
aug. 25
10,500 ft.
    stretched between two lodgepole pines
hammock swaying in the cold winds
        come screaming off the peaks
    swooshing the tree tops
rebel aspens--leaves tinted gold in this late summer season--
sing to the pines--who moan and creek in reply
i huddle beneath
lazing away
eyes moving from edward abbey novel
to sliver of blue sky
eyelids laboring
finally
letting go
i tumble off the mountain
into my dreams
