In the Dark





I thought of you

With your yellow cowboy hat

Set askew,

Ponytails whipping the breeze,

Dark eyes filled with light.

Like a pixie;

White,

Bright, true.



I dreamt of you.

Now, the hat pulled back.

Behind, the Colorado sky deep blue,

The evening mountains afire,

And the scent of pine.

You, like a mountain girl;

Warm as sunshine,

Fresh as dew.



I imagined you -

The hat was the same

And the laugh too;

Perfect, brilliant as before.

- Now naked.

Like a nymph;

Luscious, loved, lustful, liquid, limpid.

I craved your flesh anew.



I am you.
