It’s that time of morning when you abruptly feel yourself being pushed out the door of a dream, hearing the solid clack of the lock behind you.
You know the dream- the one where you’re flying in a free fall after skydiving from the moon’s diamond landscape sacrificing your body to sunset, and just before you hit the ground
the beautiful stranger catches you in her arms, unfolding herself slowly to you like a flower blooming in time-lapse photography…
and then without warning you’re on the doorstep in the dark morning mist ringing the bell, rapping the gilded doorknocker, frantically searching your pockets for the key.

About this poem:
Poetry Magazine actually published this a few years ago. Go figure. LOL
Very nice and exciting read. Many times I have found myself at the point of "It’s that time of morning when you abruptly feel yourself being pushed out the door of a dream" Sometimes dreams are so sweet

Oh, Michael-- I love it!
when you abruptly
feel yourself being pushed
out the door of a dream" Sometimes dreams are so sweet
