EVEN AS SHE SLEEPS.

ON A WOMAN DREAMING OF A DEAD LOVER.

Even as she sleeps
she dreams of him.

Coloured pictures,
actions, words,
senseless, changing
upon scene
upon scene.

She stirs.

Moves about
the bed.

She dreams of him
even in her sleep,
action packed,
sexual, kisses
given, received,
put on hold.

She sighs,
wordless,
moves hand
to her breasts,
eyes closed,
head full
of dreams.

Awake
she'll know
he's dead,
but in sleep
nothing is
what it seems.

Ahh those dreams that let us escape the harshness of reality and drift away if only for a few short hours.
