Literature Text

My chin rested in

Fields of silky wheat

Fingers interlaced and winding through

Rosined strings of every tomorrow

Remnants of baby shampoo and

A freckled nose

Succumb to the moon

Wrestling through window slivers

Forcing me to thrash in rough cotton

And goose feathers

I wept and waited

For her to describe me

I’m not an imaginary specter

Like she

I’m right here

Limbs akimbo

In the moon-raped dark

Weeping and waiting
This is for the woman, Jamie, whom I've never met, but invades my dreams almost every night.

Sounds crazy, yes? Thank God...maybe I've finally gone off the deep end.
