Another school dream (this time with a spider)
I
drop
into a dream —
down
through my
classroom ceiling
and land
plop!
in my
moonlit
chair.
I
stare
at my
fingers
tracing
forever ago
scratches
in my
desk.
I lean forward,
touch
nose
to wood
and breathe
then bend back
to
peek inside
my cubby.
A young spider spots me,
crawls to a corner, and
curls into
nothing,
just as she was taught.
I wave a little pinky-wave —
and wake up
smiling.

It's a pleasure for me to have Ed DeCaria here at 30 Poets/30 Days. Some of you here might know Ed from his amazing Madness Poetry event, where he works behind the scenes to throw an annual poetry event that is extraordinary (and a blast).
And some of you might know him from StorySeer - which you totally need to check out if you are at all interested in author visits. Seriously. Go hence!
And those are two great reasons to know Ed DeCaria. But you also need to know him as a poet since he is one. And cuz the rule of threes. So, read, click links, and on we go...
