i dreamed last night
a crazy dream
riding in a truck
in the back with many people
most spoke Spanish
i understood bits and pieces
the moon was big and full
it was an October moon
orange, burning low in the sky
i had on a jean jacket
in the pocket was a rosary
when i got it out
they all grew quiet
a girl next to me crossed herself
then we all did
we prayed together in Spanish
we meditated on the sorrowful mysteries
the gospel of our Beloved's suffering
riding down a moonlit road,
in a dream.
