John Finneran

You dreamed of the woman between

the river and the sun and the rock

Then I thought of the mountain

and next to the mountain was the sun

and the sun was held by the woman from between the river and the sun and the rock In the dream there were figures in the water

and when it was cool they came out to the beach This was dreamed many times

and when you dreamed it you were peaceful
