In the doghouse
next to the old drilling rig,
where oil slurped up
out of the dirt, they drink
the coffee and booze
that she brings him
in a scavenged silver thermos.

The flames are nearing
the cabin in the wild,
where boy joins girl
for a weekend in the rough.
The imagined irises and the roses
merge as the distant smoke
kindles and swoops
like a double helix.
The mechanical bears slink along low
and shaggy, like black puddles,
as revived metal hummingbirds attend
to the day with a frank utterance.

Now inside, they move
beyond coffee and booze,
between bush cruising
and fishing, and beyond
white sheets, to find
the next page of their story.

The truth is that I don’t know how much of my life was a dream and how much was reality. Does it matter in the end?
(...) A verdade é que não sei o quanto de minha vida foi sonho e quanto foi realidade. Faz diferença, no fim das contas?
