I’ll Tell You a Dream I Had Once
I’ll Tell You a Dream I Had Once - meaning Summary
Intimate, Surreal Fusion
The poem recounts a surreal, sensual dream in which the speaker floats in a blue sky and physically merges with a lover. Playful, compressed lines depict bodies fitting into one another—stomach into stomach, legs and head nested—conveying intimacy as literal union. The dream logic and sudden shifts create a childlike, ecstatic tone that collapses individual boundaries and frames love as a warm, bodily and ecstatic joining.
