Behind Closed Eyes

Sometimes you talk in your sleep.

 

A startled shout or

burst

of laughter and I

stumble

 

out of my latest dream

and into your

drowsy dialogue,

eager

 

to catch a glimpse of these

nighttime companions but

they scatter

back to silence

 

the moment i turn my head.
