DREAMS AS POETRY 9<br />

The judge was then presiding<br />

Her father has much wealth<br />

Relatives are blaming him<br />

Him for her poor health<br />

I’m sorry my darling, so sorry<br />

I really had no choice<br />

I look at you and worry<br />

In this I had no voice<br />

My family and her blame me<br />

Now she says divorce<br />

She has lost her baby<br />

Life will take its course<br />

The train moves out, I’m waving<br />

Tears in both our eyes<br />

Both our hearts are aching<br />

Their accusations fly<br />

Next stop there are children<br />

I step off into a field<br />

Covered with round stones of green<br />

So that the sick are healed<br />

Now I hold him as a child<br />

His dark hair, face content<br />

I look softly down and smile<br />

All his tears are spent<br />

Bending down I pick up<br />

A cool green smooth round stone<br />

His little hand is cupped<br />

To hold it as his own<br />

The court scene flashes<br />

Everyone is drunk<br />

Red and angry faces<br />

He’s in his prison bunk
