Monday's Poem © Gabriel Dey Coat of Green I wanted to touch the darkness inside myself. Something closed around me, like sleep. I reclined upon a bed of shadows. The morning came from sleep And dreamed me into being The morning came from sleep Soft hands and my mother's breast Dreamed me into being The morning came from sleep * Soft hands and my mother's breast Formed a coat of leaves The morning came from sleep Around my naked body Around me like sleep The morning came to dream me * My mother's last breath Around me something closed Around me something closed A bed of shadows dreaming A bed of shadows huddled And dreamed me into being
