dream orchid

I took my dream to the Orchid,
exhaled it
and laid it on her threshold.
Orchid inhaled it
and looked at me quizzically.

It was slightly unnverving;
I tried to remember the smallest details
to see if I had omitted something.
The sun set and rose
but Orchid did not even blink.

At long last she nodded
and I gathered my belongings
and inhaled.
Breathing was good
as I stepped into the sky.

Clouds streamed by.
Rains fell.
Dragons smiled at me
and gave me rides
to the very end

of the sky.
Beyond it
the slow smoke
from a Denny's
serving breakfast

all day.
If you can
get breakfast all day
you can make a fresh start
anytime.

Hungry?
