to find you weren't at the top of the stairs,
but in bed
startled awake?
Have you ever watched a girl in sailor dress and shoes,
a spinning ballerina in sailor dress and shoes,
on the slick rocks
by the side of the lake?
I dreamed of blonde hair spread on the water.
I dreamed I was running, screaming,
by the side of the water,
then I was awake,
destroyed and
gasping.
