IN DREAM TIME by THOMAS MCGRATH

First Line: DEAR TOMASITO
Last Line: Just had a last fall
Subject(s): FATHERS & SONS;

Dear Tomasito:
We talk about dreams.
Yours always amaze me,
Though you've moved out
Beyond the castles.

As for me
I seem to spend many nights
Walking a perimeter of rotten ice
Around a bad break
Where someone less lucky
Just had a last fall.
