Two Dreams


i

Pawel bides my time
as I gather by his presence
that he is still in his previous position


ii

William, on horseback
to the royal wedding.
Joe passes, a hand raised in hailing.

Offscreen, a heavy thud.
His play-acting has found
a stone slab

to break his fall.
He sits, eyes scrunched, blood rung through
his short dark hair.
