Ray Cicetti
In a Dream
I watched a red-tailed hawk rise
then disappear through copper-colored clouds,
and something opened,
beyond time, beyond language—
beyond the one and two of it. And I stood in possibility—
somehow freed of my life's familiar rooms.
The clock ticked on the wall—cars moved on
the street below. A dark sky wavering into blue.
I was emptied out of the world I knew,
replaced for one moment by a bit of wisdom found.
