Could you sleep last night?
I read somewhere
that when you struggle
to sleep at night,
you are actually awake
in someone else's dream
and have them to blame
for your bleary-eyed
stumbling and grumbling
the following morning.
And I awoke today
with a fresh memory
of a dream spent with you-
laughing and smiling
being together like we never have been
in the light of day.
So I want to know:
Did you sleep last night?
Or did you toss and turn
and failingly yearn
for comfort at last?
I want to be sure
that my dreamtime companion
was actually you
and not some
incomplete creation
of my unconscious imagination.
