Undercover

It was still dark

when I got up

I threw a net around my dreams

enlightened the room and left

Shed water in the depth of Earth shadow

drew some deep breaths of night air

then made some tea

I went back to my bedroom

under that dim light

and knelt down close to the net full of dreams

and for some reason I shoved both hands

under the beds abandoned cover

The cozy cover, the blanket that I had left

a good while ago

and it was all warm there

all warm and intimate...still...from my body

all warm still from that silent fire

That numinous persisting warming fire

sparked and kindled and mended by YOU

You force you source

we can only sense and intuit

not grasp or see as

-imagine my hands laughing-

You work Under-cover!
