Five Dreams and Jacob in the Afternoon

Five Dreams

A liquid perspective exists in this sky...
                                - Miguel Anxo Fernán Vello

Camera Lucida

What loves these things,
seeding them in you
like the white
persistent hands of poppy-sprouts
that tumble with the turned earth -

the home you dream of,
a condition of air
ungraspable as the smell of rain
on bright mornings?
Refracted by shining pavements,

or the tender light
...
