Some dreams are stains,
That are easily washed away.
Other dreams are cherry-burns;
The ash may be gone,
But the impression remains,
Till you lay new carpet.

Compelling little piece. So short you may be tempted to dismiss it or read it so fast it's done before you comprehend it. Take your time and savor these words.

The typology of dreams

I liked much each part but together I felt that there were a bit too many semantic fields involved: dreams; trees; stains then carpet. At the end I liked the ambiguity of dreams which are hidden under the carpet (but not fully removed). Actually what a nice theme to write about - typology of dreams
