Unborn Dreams




Coyote song calls the quarter moon
And draws it over the rumpled edge
Of my life, out where the pines shelter
Unborn dreams, each speaking another’s name

Until they all glow bright
In reflected hope.

This mountain stream was, a moment ago,
Made of stuff the color of moonlight. Fish
Hear my steps on the ice and rush away to
Tell others that the prophecies are true:

Drums proclaim a thaw
If we will believe.
