Aurelius’ Dream
I do not believe in dreams.
I prefer the great books.
Nothing is missing in my Greek library
And what’s missing never was.
I was told my wife is in the garden,
Someone has taken her to the lake,
To lie with her in Roman twilight,
And upset the slumber of geese and deer.
I will saddle my horse, ride toward the Sabine women,
In the hills of the northern border,
The cold days are coming
To lay me down among my blue soldiers.
Soon I will forget it all
And all forget me.
