and it thoroughly unnerved me
through the following day.
It’s been such a long time
since your brown eyes had followed me that way across a room
that even in sleep I thought it strange.
In the dream you held me again
and it felt like I was home,
an avalanche of undisturbed passion
I never knew you possessed.
I tried to tell you
that I knew it was a dream
but you wouldn’t listen.
