If dreams are only that — just dreams
then why, when I wake from one
where I was perfectly at peace,
do I long to return to it,
like a child pressing his face against the glass,
flipping through the jukebox songs,
searching for the one he’d pay to hear again?
And when I cannot go back
when the dream slips beyond reach
why does it feel
as though I’ve been robbed
of an immense and fortune?
