#41

You were in my dream 
Again 
this time silver-ing in places 
Distinguished 
Eyes shining 

I find your features everywhere
Your mouth 
The cadence in the way you speak about ironies that make you laugh 
Your hooded brow in studied concentration over a worn hard cover book you're reading for the third time 
Always seeking out another favorite passage, some gem, you might have missed before

I loved the slowness of time
Like the way you feel 
moving slowly 
through 
Warm water 
lapping your skin
Soft 

And music played familiar 
Like a #41
A favorite 
For times like these 

"I came in praying for you
     Why won't you run" 

Singing 
In that way that gets the dishes done
Or eyes closed 
Sinking into a couch 
Limbs splayed 
A book resting
On your chest
Foot tapping 
The rhythm 
And lightly humming
The melody

The light always dancing
Across
The floor

This dream is
Easy
And 
Full
