from Faces Seen in Dreams
On town streets, at the lake
All these figures move;
Their eyes show red and green,
Pierce and disappear.
Of course, this is a dream,
But some do slap the dead.
They do that for my sake.
Because it is my sleep
A few guess what is meant:
Decisive, always firm,
These ones do not relent.
– John Vincent Healy (1940)
