Where Do Our Dreams Go?

 

We wake up every morning, still adrift

From night and dreams and fog and hazy dawn

Unless we work the night shift down at the plant

For then we rise to the evening news

 

When we wake up where do our pale dreams go?

Maybe the first flush makes them disappear

Maybe daylight fades them into non-being

Or they’re put out with the dog for the dawn patrol

 

And never allowed back in

 

It’s really okay

                             if nightmares go away -

I just wish the happy dreams would stay
