My second poem from the 2014 August Poetry Postcard Fest was inspired by a dream and by my ongoing investigation into how my body responds to certain negative thought patterns. The card is a photo of a Clyfford Still painting and Mer, Ella and I were fortunate enough to visit the new Clyfford Still Museum in Denver, Colorado, which I recommend without reservation.
