You are dreaming an amphibian

dream my little being

my rendering

 

of pixels in liquid

light your body

a projection of sound into this

 

quiet hum:

the dry world

the endless search

for water and warmth

 

curve of your spine

glow of your skull your heart

beat fingers

arms toes tucked legs labia

a girl naked nebulous

a girl

 

she’s yawning

sleep

my daughter

become

clamorous and real
