he had a dream
I have a dream
that one day every valley shall be exalted, every hill and mountain shall be
made low, the rough places will be made plain, and the crooked places will be
made straight . . .
his wasnt Kings
he dreamt he birthed his daughters daughters
he birthed his eldests on a promontoryoutdoors
above a blue sea on a rough blanket laid on the grass a vaginal birth
it
raised his eyebrow because as he observed himself helping her deliver he knew her
real life
daughters were Caesarian
swaddling the babegiving her to
his daughter he kissed her and told her her sister needed him hed return when he could
carefully he pickedwound his way down
the promontorys descent to a rude cabin at its foot
inside he deliveredvaginally his
other daughters baby girl it also raised
his eyebrow because watching him he knew in real
life she didnt want children
swaddling the babegiving her to
his daughter he kissed her and told her he was going to check on her sister
halfway upunder a hawks cry he
realisedstopped cold only then that his daughters
birthed on the same day . . .
. . . the same day
he knew the day
hafturning he saw himself stand
from inside a brightgreen copse they watched
the other inquisitively detecting that they
knew what the other thought
they wept together apart
dreams are founded in reality
