Names

Thank you for dreaming of me
for letting me know
for waking up to remember that you dreamed
I never wake up when I dream of you

What woke you up
was it someone
else’s body?

A small thrill a little secret is ours
a desire for safe travel
in unspilled blood

“Don’t you find it intriguing when someone tells you they had a dream about you? Some people can’t even sleep let alone dream.”
