Embedded Dreams

We need rain, you bet, clouds
promise wind jazz, play low.
How risky, annihilation's here
on the street, gaping holes.

Facts are round as reality
breathing like faithful dogs.
Generations stage burning thoughts
the audience crosses its legs.

May your erasures rise
above stings and dreams
the friendly palm
mornings of machines.

Afterwards what's claimed
(no-one knows).
