after a moment

of self-discovery:

the more i think

i’ve got myself figured out,

the further from the truth i am.

after an exquisite dream:

the subconscious delivers fantasies

the conscious is too conscious to entertain

she said,

i had a dream i was lost,

and couldn’t find my way home.

i said,

what did you feel at the moment

you realized you were lost?

she said,

i felt anxious,

but also bemused.

she looked at me.

strange, isn’t it?

i said,

why do you say that?

she said,

sometimes i fear i will be lost forever,

and never found.

i said,

is this a fear,

or a fantasy?

returning

after days of being away

to our house

to our home

i see your reflection

in the glass door

as you lead the way and

my breath leaps

as the key glides

and the lock clicks loud

and the door swings wide

and i notice

your hands

your fingers

that love me so carnally

trembling beside the curtain

the landscape

of your back

rippling

like a starlit river

before

you turn

to me

and say,

the house was

hollow

without you.
