Tooth Dreams
I dreamed I lost all my teeth
and waking to find them in place
even counting them twice
still felt something missing
so I went to a woman
who interprets dreams
she spoke in a song with no tune
all white words over a black abyss
the key to the meaning of dreams
lies in the realm of what’s real
not as much about what they seem
but rather the way that you feel
when I was silent, she prompted
like a ship with no rudder or sails
like a bird with no feathers or wings
like a horse without its mane or tail
like a scorpion without a sting?
I thought, then shook my head
like a house with no fence
I said
she smiled through gentle eyes
ah, she said
that explains everything.
