ALSO 
I've been THINKING about 
my use of the word
MASK

it's got all these
CONNOTATIONS 

that I don't really 
THINK about 

I COLLECT masks
they are all over my walls

the way you LOOKED 
in the DREAM 
was
NOT something that really made SENSE 

sort of
LIKE 
an indigenous person 
was trying to 
DRESS
to represent a CEREMONIAL entity 

but with limited natural materials 
& a sort of animistic 
VIEW of the world 

it comes out
USUALLY 
as some sort of BODY MASK or something 

BUT 
this had the quality of being 
ALSO sort of a portal
SO it was figure in the body mask SHAPED 
BUT 
actually just DARK

SO
I'm walking up
putting my face INTO the portal
not SEEing you
ONLY 
feeling you

I THINK that probably 
makes more SENSE 

the whole experience was 
HARD to put into
ANY kind of WORDS

I have no idea
what my mind is telling me 

MAYBE 
it's all the SPACE content
QUANTUM blah blah

MAYBE 
I'm working my MIND 
up to something 

MAYBE 
it's 
something else

the monkeys at the WELL 
might be
a joke I'm telling myself
