Just yesterday evening,
I had an uncontrollable urge
To call you.
But the hour was late
And besides
You were probably asleep.
Alone,
I imagined you there
Sleeping-
Adrift in calm darkness
Your head nuzzled against the pillow
And your mind within your head
Dreaming.
Your image
Reminded me to be a poet-
So I entered your dream and
Began to write.
We were
Two beings
Curling together like clouds
In an unimaginable sky.
I felt
The mythic winds
Caress your mind
And was lifted
Like a whisper on a breeze
To a soft grey shadow
Beside your head.
Suddenly,
You stirred, and called my name.
I traveled on a lightning bolt of fear
To an empty chair
In a dank, blank room
In my only mind.
