Poem: Through A Glass, Dim But Never Dark

David Wheeler, author of the stunning book of poetry Contingency Plans, shares this poem. His poetry was featured in issue 2 of GENERATE.

Through A Glass, Dim but Never Dark

We keep our dreams beneath our heavy lids

and reach through strata silvering for a kiss

as the breathing daylight finds new ways around

the Sound, the clouds, the doubts unwound

with everything we had no use for in the night.

We keep our dreams close by;

we never let them out of sight.
