in dreams
and in awakening—
the colour of the iris
Shushiki
————————————————
As if at the very end
The final dream
Before the final awakening
As if the need for explanation
Falls away
With the snow or the rain
Either will suit me
A last chance to smile
At the loss of my environment
Only then for the piano to be played
The brass band to form a semi-circle
And the pub singers to strike a chord
All to bless the pork pies
The cheese and pickle sandwiches
And the very finest Farmer’ Blonde real ale

cultivate awareness
& open your heart
