10-Dewberries

Dewberries

I awaken –or at least I think I do–outdoors .

Find myself in uncharted forests, fairytale woodlands of my mind.

Words tug from groundcover vines wound with

silver–purple dewberries that want to be ideas.

Dawn is drinking all the dew

and soon dry undergrowth

does not shine up at me

Too sweet these mornings of soft handfuls,

when I dark- crimson-dot my bowl of bran, of daily bread, of ordinary things,

with each small idea, the size of a chickpea, that wants to burst upon

            my tongue

…too sweet

and inexpressible
