Provoked, by a Dead Poet

As with the saints, I have experienced levitation, but always in
dreams;
a quiet imagining, myself suspended above the fray.
And I have awakened sometimes reassured, that the past
is just that - the past.
Once I dreamt that Saint Thérèsa of Lisieux sat unperturbed,
in a hen-house engulfed in flames.
And I don't usually dream.
