Caveat: A silent prayer like dreamers do

What I'm listening to right now.

Roy Orbison, "In Dreams."

Lyrics.

A candy-colored clown they call the sandman
Tiptoes to my room every night
Just to sprinkle star dust and to whisper
"Go to sleep, everything is alright"

I close my eyes then I drift away
Into the magic night, I softly say
A silent prayer like dreamers do
Then I fall asleep to dream my dreams of you

In dreams I walk with you
In dreams I talk to you
In dreams you're mine all the time
We're together in dreams, in dreams

But just before the dawn
I awake and find you gone
I can't help it, I can't help it if I cry
I remember that you said goodbye

Caveat: Englyn #96

(Poem #201 on new numbering scheme)

My friend, who is my reader, celebrates
his birth date. He's older.
Some old snow lurks like litter,
here and there, on the corner.

– an englyn unodl union.
