I dreamt of
you last night
vivid images
sitting across
from you at a table
your hands
toying restlessly with a cup of stale coffee
impatient
for a cigarette in this smoke free room
the scent of
your perfume mingles with dust and mold
as you laugh
at my inane joke
my attempt to
tease you away from your grief
I dreamt of you
last night
a muted
mirage
mimicking reality
your haunted
eyes deep set and dark
desperately
darting here-and-there
avoiding my
scrutiny as I peer through your façade
sensing
sorrow under your kind words
as you offer
support and comfort to me
I dreamt of
you last night
