Did a Dreamtime walkabout

today in Australia 

couldn’t wake up for many hours 

sorry for letting you hang out

as I tried not to drown

sweating in our bed

guess my busy head’s 

been both up & down,

my feet flying off the ground

& I wish I could see us

traveling

to anyplace we’ve never been before

& the infection 

has grounded all the planes

& boats

circling the shore

& I want to spend summertime 

in December 

with you,

but remember

only in Dreamtime 

it could happen,

but no one else 

was granted a key

to my imagination 

where koalas were

are big as kiwis,

where trees

sang the sweetest melodies 

at the shore

Wish you were here—

just 5 minutes more—

Tulips are exploding with color—

It’s the first day outside

without the rain! The sun is shining bright.

Petals are falling from trees.

It’s the first day outside!

Everyone is walking their dogs to the park.

Petals are falling from trees.

Strong breezes tickle strands of hair.

Everyone is walking their dogs to the park.

Poets’ voices become raspy while reading aloud.

Strong breezes tickle strands of hair.

Children are laughing & playing across the street.

Poets’ voices become raspy while reading aloud.

Without the rain, the sun is shining bright.

Children are laughing & playing across the street.

Tulips are exploding with color.
