I dreamt and drifted. All seemed to run to waste

As down a swirl of mucky, glittering flood

Strange polyp floated like a huge corrupt

Magnolia bloom, surreal as a shed breast,

My softly awash and blanching self-disgust.

And I cried among night waters, ‘I repent

My unweaned life that kept me competent

To sleepwalk with connivance and mistrust.’

Then, like a pistil growing from the polyp,

A lighted candle rose and steadied up

Until the whole bright-masted thing retrieved

A course and the currents it had gone with

Were what it rode and showed. No more adrift,

My feet touched bottom and my heart revived.
