No Such Thing
Last night, I heard on TV that the Lady of the Lake
was an ancient astronaut, that she came from a
star in Orion's belt, the Pleiades, or maybe Arcturus.
After that, I dreamt all night of water and swords.
Dream-queasy, somewhere between time and
tomorrow, a concave light inside the sky led me
along ley lines, and I hovered above Nazca, the
pyramids, Stonehenge—earthly reminders of what
we still don't know. Years ago, in a different dream,
an angel told me there's no such thing as disbelief
