dream by John Reinhart

narrated by John Reinhart

Illustration by Sue Babcock

of sunbeams making 
love to crystals and 
dancing with a million 
of their shimmering 
children, where tree 
roots tell legends 
to daffodils and the sun 
itself breaks into a belly laugh 
that extends eternity another day


One-time beginner yo-yo champion, state fiddle and guitar champion, tinkerer, and certifiable eccentric, John Reinhart lives in the Weird, between now and never, protecting discarded treasures, and whistling combinations of every tune he knows. His poetry has recently been published in The Vocabula Review, Black Heart Magazine, FishFood & LavaJuice Magazine, Star*Line, 94 Creations Journal and Liquid Imagination, and Songs of Eretz.
