New Jersey Dreams

[Kailashana]

I can't sleep when you reach into my dream
with the thrust of your vacant stare, looking
for something I can not see.
You are not here nor I there, we are not hummingbirds
flitting around the cardinal hibiscus yet we dare to laugh:
how absurd we are with answers.

Your sand will always wash upon my
shore, tall tufts of grass peeking out between our fences
and our toes.
My skin screaming to stay alive with you. Your heart
pounding inside me.

Thank you for reading and for your precious comments.

Linger. Yes. How exquisitely appropriate.
