Alternate Author Name(s): Harrison, Jim
Subject(s): Dreams; Longing; Night; Nightmares; Bedtime
He waits to happen with the clear
reality of what he thinks about -
to be a child who wakes beautifully,
a man always in the state of waking
to a new room, or at night, waking
to a strange room with snow outside,
and the moon beyond glass,
in a net of branches,
so bright and clear and cold.
