I dreamed I gave you a snow globe
and after the snow snowed
and after the plows plowed
you stood inside watching
 
after the snow
which was blue and had come from all directions
you stood there watching
with your impossible spine
 
which was blue and directionless
and it made me weep
your impossible spine
and its question of whether
 
and what     it made me weep
this dream and you in the impossible globe
and the question of weather
as in snow as in what will happen
 
to this dream of an impossible globe
you in the snow your hair a perfect storm
as in snow as in what will happen
to your angular bones
 
you, snow, hair, perfect storm
in this impossible dream globe
and your beautiful angular bones
after the plows have plowed
