Repeat Dream

Walking up the hill on Sunday--

felt the strangeness of the scene,

sure that I had been before

upon this trail, by this ravine.

Saw myself and with a small dog

running up ahead of me.

Told the others who were with me--

I have walked a dog along here.

What I mean is have we owned one

since we've lived in this location?

No, there's never been a dog

and we ourselves don't know this trail.

What is with my brain, I wonder

when it sees so perfectly

something that has not occurred

yet seems to be a repeat dream.
