I dreamt of her again
last night,
safe beneath my roof.
I had visions of her
right in front of me,
there she stood,
as confident as ever,
laced in black lingerie,
a crooked smile
gifted by the sun,
like standing close
without getting burned.
It made the light bulbs
in the room flicker,
jealous,
angry.
Suddenly,
a stranger’s hands
grabbed my chest,
lifting me,
levitating above my bed,
possessed.
only to be dropped awake
into a sea of sheets.
And I, desperate
for that look in your eyes,
search beneath waves,
flinging my body,
kicking,
thrashing.
I drown myself
back to sleep,
but I can’t
find you again.

I dreamt of her again
last night,
safe beneath my roof.
I had visions of her

as confident as ever,
laced in black lingerie,
a crooked smile

like standing close
without getting burned.
It made the light bulbs

jealous,

Suddenly,
a stranger’s hands
grabbed my chest,
lifting me,
levitating above my bed,

only to be dropped awake
into a sea of sheets.
And I, desperate
for that look in your eyes,
search beneath waves,
flinging my body,

thrashing.
I drown myself
back to sleep,
but I can’t
find you again.
