Dreaming in a time of covid

On the deck of our house

a grove of ancient oaks

drifted overhead

Years ago, a tornado

gathered them up and

carried them away into the sky

Trees loved the sky

and the sky loved the trees

they fed one another air

Among the trees

a large white farmhouse

drifted like a cloud

Last night, coasting low over the hill

the white farmhouse came in view

and stopped

Suddenly, it crashed down

onto a house on the hill

I raced inside for shoes

A neighbor lady yelled

don’t forget your camera

post some pictures on social media.
