This air. Cool on dry body. This breathing skin.
As a turtle ascends to the sun from the stream,
in a breeze, I reawake to fecund dream
of childhood; that time, with love, made thin.

As shadows narrow I escape the glen
as hollow as when I came in.

fecund

is a horrible word, one of the worst in the English language IMO, that is why I used it. It sounds opposite what it means. If I am correct this can be read a variety of ways i.e. hollow can refer to either glen or I. There are no trees in the forest, doesn't look like any higher animals either. It is not what it seems, like so much else here. By the time you hit the "love" it should drip with acid. It can refer to the misuse of the english language. There are always hidden messages, agendas. A cost for "LOVED IT".

fecund is ok with me

"fecund dream of childhood" is an intellectually productive dream of childhood. Seems reasonable. The leaving as hollow as one enters after the sun comes up (shadows narrow) makes me wonder how fecund the dream was.
