Visions Before Slumber

CROSSING THE RIVER

crossing the river in a glass boat
moonlight relfects translucently--
pictures from the past sail along in frames
beside me, and I wonder if I'm like that, too

and how can I tell if it's real
what I'm feeling inside
if words from these lips do not produce
or thoughts in this mind do not subside?
